Could you build this?
Partial While the Telegram bot UI and gamification logic are simple, real-time geofenced flight tracking and alerting require expensive commercial ADS-B data streams and continuous spatial query infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A production version requires ingesting high-frequency live ADS-B flight data (e.g., FlightRadar24, ADS-B Exchange, or FlightAware firehose) into an in-memory spatial index (like Redis GEO or PostGIS with tile/bounding box listeners). A worker pool monitors aircraft coordinates against user-defined radiuses, triggering alerts via the Telegram Bot API while enforcing strict rate limits and batching to manage costs and latencies.
