My 2-year-old daughter recently became obsessed with airplanes. Every day, she adorably asks me to find her planes in the sky, and she becomes delighted when I locate one for her. Naturally, like all dads, I took it upon myself to do a bit of DIY. Aviator is the result: - Live Aircraft Radar: Track nearby planes in real-time - Map Overlay: Toggle between the radar view or a detailed local map - Customisable Colours: Personalize your display with your kid's favourite - Modern Retro: Marrying cutting-edge graphics shaders and haptics with old-school CRT display and radar beeps This app uses the free OpenSky API - https://opensky-network.org/
