Description
Flyby is a native, privacy-first pre-flight companion for drone pilots of all skill levels. At the center of Flyby is the Fly Score, an explainable flight-readiness score that takes wind, rain, visibility, cloud cover, sunlight, geomagnetic conditions, the aircraft, and pilot profile into account. Flyby explains and directly shows how the score is being impacted at any one moment. That's not all that Flyby has to offer! Flyby also has flight planning, logging, maps, mini-games, and so much more!

Could you build this?
Partial The client app and scoring algorithm are straightforward, but it requires integration with real-time aviation weather models, airspace restriction data, and geomagnetic activity feeds.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable drone safety app requires aggregating regulated aviation airspace feeds (FAA B4UFLY/LAANC or regional equivalents), specialized meteorological data (micro-level winds aloft, K-index geomagnetic space weather from NOAA), and drone performance profiles. The stack would combine geospatial processing (PostGIS) with real-time external telemetry feeds and strict fallback guarantees for safety compliance.
