Done:

• 📡 Crawl: - Speed - Altitude - LastSeen - LAT & LONG (Position)
• 🧠 Determine: - Plane status based on last data and freshly crawled data. - Airport name based on LAT & LONG
• 📢 Send status update to nostr network. | `KIND: 1
• 📷 Take screenshoots.
• Post screenshoots with status update.

Todo:

• Simple shell Menu.
• Use tor for crawling to avoid being blocked in the future.
• Remove completely nostr-publisher.sh and put it inside the main loop with settings in the main menu for publishing.
• Shell menu.
• Support for more relays, import relays list from a file in config folder instead of hardcoded variables.

Problems:

• Written by me.
