#62This is super cool. In case you don't make it through to the project's webpage howisfelix.today, and read through to the end, here is the creator's conclusion: Overall, having spent a significant amount of time building this project, scaling it up to the size it’s at now, as well as analysing the data, the main conclusion is that it is not worth building your own solution, and investing this much time.

I don't mean to sound flippant but isn't what you are describing just OCD ?

#69Wow, and I feel bad for going on one (usually short) flight per year on average...
