There's no data when I tried it on a windows 11 PC. It seemed to install all deps front end is served but dossier says intel unavailable. No planes etc. No helpful output in the command window. Seems fun but doesn't seem to be working.

Yeah this doesn't work on Mac either. This is just broken and nonfunctioning.

Sounds like OP did some pretty cool engineering to make this run performantly. Definitely not your run of the mill AI slop.

It doesn't run at all. If you can get it running, let me know.

Ah, that's my fault for not making the error handling clearer in the UI. If the map is blank, it usually means the backend is missing the .env file with the free API keys (AISSTREAM_API_KEY and N2YO_API_KEY), so it's silently failing to fetch the streams.

Did the terminal throw any Python FastAPI errors, or did it just serve the Next.js frontend? I'm going to push an update later today to show a prominent "Backend Disconnected / Missing API Keys" warning on the UI so it doesn't just look dead. Thanks for testing it!

Apparently, I had a bunch of front end developmental scripts that were calling the Windows version of python. Working on it now.

This is actually really good. Like this kind of app built before AI everyone would praise it.

It's only slop because anyone can make it now and we're all sick of clones.

The app is good, but the effort required to make it is not impressive at all. I think calling this slop is a misnomer. It's not slop. It's better than what most of us can do and done in a significantly faster amount of time. Calling it slop implies you can do better... which you can't.
