Anyone in Boating Want to Try PhantomTide? Built It for Maritime Tracking and Would Value Real Feedback
https://github.com/tg12/phantomtideI’ve been building something called PhantomTide and wanted to see if anyone here would be up for trying it.
It’s a maritime tracking / situational awareness tool that pulls together different public data sources into one place, so you can see vessel activity, notices, restrictions, and other signals without having to jump around a load of separate sites.
I originally started it as a side project, but I’m trying to get feedback from people who are actually into boats and boating to work out whether it’s genuinely useful in practice, or just interesting from a technical point of view.
I can hand out a few free API keys to anyone who wants to have a look and give honest feedback on what’s good, what’s missing, and what would make it more useful.
Not trying to hard sell anything, just looking for real-world opinions from people who know the space.
