See the aircraft flying over you on a retro radar scope

Hi Product Hunt. I built this because every flight tracker is a Google map, and I wanted the romance of a real radar, the sweep, the phosphor glow, the blips fading between passes. Type your postcode and you are the dot in the middle. Tap anything overhead to find out what it is.
It is a non commercial side project built on Astro and Cloudflare, with positions from the community ADS-B network. Would love your feedback, and your weirdest local sighting.
