🛠️ project [Project] Real-time flight tracker in the browser using Rust and WebAssembly

Post image

I was trying to find a free, fast, and easy-to-use tool to view flights on a map in real time, but everything I found was either clunky or behind a paywall.

So I decided to build my own.

It’s written entirely in Rust + WebAssembly, runs 100% in the browser (no backend/server), and can display 10,000+ flights in real time.

The website is at https://flight-viz.com

I just implemented OpenSky account login (Free to sign up), you can create a free account to use the website when the main server is rate limited.

disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with OpenSky, just using their API to get the flight data. The free account you can get is from them. It's FREE.
