Notes on FlightSide. Small updates, flight details, and things worth knowing before you pick a seat.

• Install FlightSide like an app (and use it with spotty Wi-Fi)

  

  FlightSide can be installed from the browser, opens in its own window, and caches the site so it loads faster on repeat visits. Offline behavior is honest: the map still needs the network for live tiles, but the core tool works without a connection once cached.

• Quiet week, fresher data, a few fixes

  

  No big release this time. The airport list was refreshed, several small bugs were fixed, and a couple of flight-planning observations worth keeping in mind.

• About page, contact, and finding your way around

  

  An About page explaining what FlightSide does, a contact form, and small improvements to navigation.

• Clearer map, clearer messages

  

  The map now shows the sun's position with a marker. Plus better airport search, smarter error messages for broken links, and a dark mode fix.

• Launch week: faster and shareable

  

  After launch: faster loads, dark mode, and shareable links for every route.

• FlightSide is live

  

  FlightSide is live. Pick two airports, a departure time, and see which side of the plane faces the sun for your route.
