We created a coverage map of our ADS-B data and actually found some really nice things! It’s amazing what a little visualisation can do to the understanding of real world things! blog.planefinder.net/beauty-in-the-… #dataisbeautiful

@KentonVarda How I feel when I login to the CF dashboard to be fair!!

Man can you imagine how much nicer it would be using GitHub if page loads took <200ms instead of 2-3s? I would be so much happier to use GitHub.

@dok2001 @Cloudflare Dane, can't contact support. Issue says it is cleared. Logging out and back of dashboard gives errors

I won’t mince words: earlier today we failed our customers and the broader Internet when a problem in @Cloudflare network impacted large amounts of traffic that rely on us. The sites, businesses, and organizations that rely on Cloudflare depend on us being available and I apologize for the impact that we caused. Transparency about what happened matters, and we plan to share a breakdown with more details in a few hours. In short, a latent bug in a service underpinning our bot mitigation capability started to crash after a routine configuration change we made. That cascaded into a broad degradation to our network and other services. This was not an attack. That issue, impact it caused, and time to resolution is unacceptable. Work is already underway to make sure it does not happen again, but I know it caused real pain today. The trust our customers place in us is what we value the most and we are going to do what it takes to earn that back.

@jdhardng It varies from airline to airline but we work directly with your ops a lot, so have a source.

@lesmond Please let me know if you’re ever looking for an alpha tester! And I’ll update the link now. Out of interest, can you share how you are able to match ADS-B callsigns to flight numbers? Quite often at BA, there is a mismatch, and direct flight plan access is my only guess!

Cloudflare has really saved my poor little VPS in the last 24 hours! My flight data API (a tiny Flask service) is the only part not heavily cached, and it has survived despite the hammering.

@jdhardng It is actually yes. But I can’t give the ETA. Great use of shortcuts BTW. Have you also looked at our MyFlights feature which you can share a link too? Also we recently updated our URL scheme so you will see it is /flight/number/BA1 for example now.

@lesmond Thank you! I would love to add some kind of real-time data (I don’t suppose you have an API on the roadmap?) Right now, before pushback I put my phone into “Work” focus which sends an iMessage to my family with a tracking link (to your website!) and then enables airplane mode!

@ajrgd @samuelaled @NSLondonMeetup Oh no. Not that one

@lesmond @samuelaled @NSLondonMeetup Come on Saints 🤣🙃

Representing @NSLondonMeetup at #WWDC25! 💜 (Photo taken at Infinite Loop)

Love being back here #WWDC25

@tripsyapp See you there!

Our team is going to #WWDC25 — who else is going? We’ll be celebrating our 8th anniversary during the Keynote! See you in Cupertino! 🎉🚀

@JordanMorgan10 Thanks Jordan, no one seems to. We do it in house but would love to move to something like Superwall

@lesmond I believe the answer is no - but I pinged someone on the team to see what the story is there.

Indie pals - If you need any help getting started with Superwall, please slide into my DMs. I'll hop on a Zoom with you and get you squared away. We have some crazy stuff coming, and I want to help all of you benefit. Today, you can get: 📊 Free revenue tracking 📱 A baller client app to track metrics 🛠️ A/B testing built-in, Suuuuper easy 🚀 And the most advanced paywall builder around And the nascent transaction view, charts and new component sidebar are so nice in the web dash. If you have any questions just ask me — I work here because I believe in this stuff 😀

@d0tslash @planefinder It’s still there. Built into the main @planefinder app now

What the heck happened to @planefinder) Plane Finder AR by @lesmond? We need all these drones hunters using it... itunes.apple.com/us/app/plane-f…

@scottiebateman I’m about today. Might see you about.

Good morning everyone, I’m at #FIA2024 today and have a signed copy of #Hercules for the first person who comes up to me and tells me the name of the first @LockheedMartin test pilot to captain the C-130 a little under 70-years ago. Looking forward to a great day at Farnborough. Say hi 👋🏻 if you see me. #FIA24 #FIA #aviation #avgeeks

@MattHeaney23 Go to Alcatraz if there are any tickets left!

On Friday, I have a day of exploring San Francisco 🤩 Any recommendations on what to do? 👀 I love to explore cities without any plans, but with only one day there, I want to make sure I cram everything in 🙌

@MattHeaney23 Flying out on the 6th? Snap! I’m going from LHR.

I’ve been so busy recently that I didn’t realise how soon #WWDC2024 is now - I fly out to San Francisco in 12 days 🤯🥳🥳

@_nghiatran I cannot wait for this. Since Paw disappeared I’ve been on the hunt for a great app that does this

The app is nearly ready: - Multiple Tab is almost done - Need to implement the Auto-Update + Simple License

I will post development progress here: ✅ 1. Request Body - Can import a JSON File - Support JSON, Text, Form Encoded, File, etc - Prettify JSON with 1 click - built-in Syntax highlighting

@MattHeaney23 Which flight are you on?

I've booked my flights for #WWDC24! I'll be flying out to San Francisco on Thursday June 6th, spending a few days there, and then heading over to San Jose on the Saturday for dub dub week. I genuinely cannot believe this is really real 🤩🥹

@rafaelks @tripsyapp Looking forward to this!

We are working nonstop on what will become Tripsy 3, our next major update since 2019. If you want to receive updates about it, signup here: tripsy.app/3. And follow us here: @tripsyapp 👀

@rafaelks @filipeesposito Great app. Great update!

The new widgets are a great way to view the activities list without opening the app. You can even have multiple categories visible at the same time. Thanks for the article, @filipeesposito 🙏

@parrots Ahhh AppFlip!

(They wanted to reach out because they were really impressed with Slopes because of {{automated stats scraped from the App Store}})

Cute, but automating my signed name onto a coffee cup in a spam email asking me if I want an exit proooobably isn't quite enough.
