SkyLines
An open-source web platform for pilots to share flights, track live flights, and participate in competitions.
What is SkyLines?
SkyLines is an open-source web platform that enables pilots to share flight data, track flights live during flight, and participate in competitions. It functions as a social network for the aviation community, providing rankings, statistics, and a comprehensive flight database. The project originated as a spin-off from the XCSoar glide computer and continues to integrate with it for live tracking functionalities.
Pilots, glider enthusiasts, and aviation communities looking for an open platform to track, share, and analyze flight data. It's particularly suited for those involved in competitive flying or who value transparency and community-driven development.
Developers choose SkyLines because it offers a fully open-source alternative to proprietary flight tracking platforms, with strong integration capabilities (like XCSoar) and a focus on community features. Its self-hostable nature gives users complete control over their data and deployment.
