I’m quite lucky to live right under the LHR flight path if planes depart off 09R. I kept checking flight radar to see what they were but wanted a better way. So I programmed (vibe code style) and built this LED board to show me what’s above my house!

What an excellent webinar organised by @HMDdevices and its Better Phone Project. Thanks to @larssilberbauer and @jean_twenge for the fantastic insight, the determination to build a new solution that can help children better manage social media in their lives.

So interesting to have seen the live polling of those in attendance at the webinar on the realities of building a phone in 2024 and the trade-offs that are unavoidable. If you want some feature sets, you need to let others in.
