Hacker News Reader

It has always been an iPhone app for many years, only now they have exposed some information on the site (Probably for getting incoming links), so this is more interesting if you are already an existing user of the app.

You only really need to know when (departure/arrival time) and where (terminal/gate), no?

What else necessary info that’s missing?

I mean, still better than having to go to airports' official pages

A select airport view has flight data limited to some x hours, meaning you cannot even see if a flight later in the day is still scheduled to arrive on time without consulting those official pages anyway. So quite objectively no, it's not even objectively worse, it's effectively useless.

Going back to a map view from an airport view resets the map, so exploration for fun is again borderline unusable.

Was going to say this. I'm getting real tired of sites trying to force me to download their spyware apps
