Chemtrail Tracker
// FILE: ABOUT.MD

Built for the people looking up.

One developer, one open-source repo, and a community of spotters who don't want their observations to disappear.

You've seen them. Crisscrossed white lines across an otherwise clear sky. Maybe they faded in twenty minutes; maybe they spread for hours. Maybe the plane was high; maybe it was a regional jet and you knew exactly what airline. Either way, by the time you thought to do something about it, the chemtrail was already drifting and the aircraft had moved out of frame.

Chemtrail Tracker exists because that observation deserves a record. Not a comment thread that scrolls past, not a screenshot in a folder you'll never reopen — a proper, queryable log. Aircraft identifier. Position. Time. Photo. Your note. On a public map, alongside every other sighting in the area.

The app pulls live aircraft data from OpenSky Network and ADS-B Exchange — the same feeds used by anyone serious about flight tracking. Nothing is invented. Nothing is filtered. If a plane is in the sky and the providers can see it, you can log it. If you want to verify how the product works, the entire codebase is on GitHub for public inspection.

There are no accounts. No email collection. No third-party analytics. The viewport you're looking at is the query, your photos and note are the payload, and a UUID in your browser's localStorage is the only thing that links logs back to "you." That's the whole identity model. Clear your storage and you're a new person.

The goal is small and concrete: make it trivially easy to log what's overhead, and impossible to delete the record without an admin actually deleting it. The community decides what's worth logging.

// THE PRINCIPLES

What this app refuses to do.

No editorializing

The app doesn't tell you what a chemtrail is, why it's there, or whether you should be alarmed. It logs the aircraft and your observation. The interpretation is yours.

No moderation creep

Logs are public records. We don't gate them behind an algorithm or hide them based on tone. The community sees what the community submits.

No data hostage-taking

Your logs belong to the public record. The codebase is open source. The data sources are named. The implementation stays visible and auditable instead of disappearing behind a black box.

No tracking, no upsell

Free. No ads. No premium tier. No third-party analytics. No newsletter you didn't ask to be on. Just the tool.

The next chemtrail is already overhead.
