What plane is flying over my house? Tinfoil Pigeons is a live radar scope: enter your postcode and see the flights overhead right now, then tap one to find out what it is.
So ive opened it in the background, will it ping me or send me a notification when a plane travels above me? BTW nice one.
@shahmeer_baloch1 Ah amazing thanks for the message. At the moment the site won't ping a notification when something enters your airspace - however I can certainly work that into the next update :)
The postcode-first approach is what makes this click. Instead of opening a full flight tracker, you get a simple answer to what’s above you right now, which feels much more casual and fun.
@farrukh_butt1 Thanks Farrukh - I really appreciate your comment. Glad you're enjoying it
Sending this to my friend who always wanted to be a pilot and nerds over this. Thanks for building!
@arathy_kushalappa1 Hey Arathy, ah amazing thank you for the lovely feedback
Love this. As a pilot, history buff, and aviation geek, I totally nerd out on this kind of stuff. Very cool UX.
@ron_white Thanks Ron - I've really enjoyed watching all the military aircraft this morning over the North West of the UK
The retro radar aesthetic is a perfect fit for this. Way more fun than a boring list of flights.
@vlad_zabavskiy Thanks Vlad - so glad you're enjoying

@chris_ward9 Excellent work on this. Every time I spotted a plane flying above, I would always say to myself - "Wish I could know what flight that is." I can do that now.
@tanoy27 Hey Tanoy, ah thank you that's exceedingly kind of you
