Love Flightly, one of the best apps ever. Beautiful design + incredibly useful info.

I think this may be a 'bug': as you zoom into the US west coast, SAN is visible before LAX. But LAX serves much more people every day, so a random person is much more likely to care about LAX. Intuitively, it seems to me that LAX should show up first. That could be intentional, but I can't think of a good reason why that choice would be made.

I rarely bookmark things but just did. For some reason, I never get this data concisely from Google search and always look for it. Nice job.

Flighty is a great app. I travel a lot and use it all the time to manage my flights. Highly recommend.

Notice a lot of Canadian airports are yellow right now. Is this normal?

Similar in Australia, BNE shows up before SYD.

Edit: actually it's even weirder. Here's the zoom levels I see, from zoomed out, to zoomed in:

- BNE, MEL

- BNE, SYD, MEL

- BNE, CBR, MEL (??)

- BNE, SYD, CBR, MEL

Flighty is a good representation of what craft - compounded over time - gives you.

Everything from on design, to features, to data integrations. It's everything that vibe coding and agents don't get you. I appreciate their craft.

I think the map is biased towards airports with the most disruptions, not the largest.
