Hi Dev community! 🚀
I’m Fırat, a Cloud Engineer and indie developer based in Turkey — a country home to Cappadocia, one of the world's hot air ballooning capitals. 🇹🇷🎈
Watching the majestic flights inspired me to look under the hood of balloon piloting. I realized that while aviation is advancing rapidly, many balloon pilots are still stuck with fragmented tools or manual calculations for critical tasks.
That’s why I built Hot Air Balloon Map.
It is not just a map; it’s a comprehensive Flight Computer designed specifically for lighter-than-air aviation.
Key Features:
📍 Advanced Navigation: Specialized tracking and wind layer visualization.
⚖️ Weight & Balance: Instant, precise calculations to ensure flight safety (no more pen and paper!).
☁️ Live Weather Data: Real-time integration for flight planning.
I developed this using SwiftUI, Apple Weatherkit, Mapbox, focusing on performance and reliability in the air.
Whether you are a pilot, an aviation geek, or a dev interested in map-based apps, let me know what you think!
