I've always wanted a simple app to just track my flights and see how they look on a map. I know there are a lot of apps out there for this, but most of them make the process of loading flights really slow and require you to create an account.

I wanted to focus mainly on these two issues and make it really simple and quick to load flights: just the mandatory origin and destination, you can add the rest of the flight details later if you want. You can also use it offline, basically as a "calculator" if you just want to quickly see data on a single flight route.

On top of that, there's a page with comprehensive stats and even AI powered insights. The main features are:

-Free and no account required (account creation optional) -Add a flight route and see it on an interactive map instantly (origin and destination only) -Use it offline if you just want a quick "calculator" mode -Share your map with a single link -Optionally track multiple flights and view stats -Get AI insights (account required for this feature)

This is still a work in progress and I plan to keep adding more cool features, but I'd like to keep it simple at the same time.

I'd really appreciate it if you let me know whether you find it useful and any features or improvements you think I should add. Hope you like it!17:T4e6,With the large game download sizes these days, why don't developers exploit existing DLC/Add-On systems to deliver game assets?

Lets say on Steam, a game currently exists of 150GB. Lets say my PC can only render Medium settings at min 60FPS and I only want Single Player mode.

Then the game should be deliver as:

0) Core Game (runtimes, executables, core logic)

1) Single-player Mode (campaign/story mode, cinematics)

2) Multi-player Mode (Net code, anti cheat)

3) Low Assets
