Here's a new addition to my small but steadily growing collection of Aviationtags:
The title says it all, really. The Map page now shows routes for each aircraft courtesy ADSB.lol API. And the popup next to each aircraft looks like this:
While tweaking Tinble, I discovered the Inter typeface which instantly became my favorite font. So now ADS-B station and Tinble use Inter.
Today I launched Aircraft Photography. Even though I'm a mediocre amateur photographer at best, I did manage to take a few aircraft photographs that are not all that bad. Instead of letting them gather dust on my machine, I've decided to...

Finally! It took my a while to figure out the best way to style <hr> tag. CSS-TRicks to the rescue.
Having a wiki for the ADS-B station project is nice, but having all the docs in the project's repository is even better. Thus, I've moved the contents on the wiki into the dedicated docs directory inside the repository.
