    I was about to say, “coolnamesalltaken already has a pretty small one,” but you are them! I’m definitely excited by this project, I have something I wanted to add ADS-B integration to and this looks like an even better option!

    As for a question, how do you balance low power with performance? Is there a target range or use case to decide the performance envelope?

    Any plans to launch a competitor to the ForeFlight Sentry? The current Sentry is severely overpriced.

    A normal non ADS-B iPad GPS flight module is almost 10% the price of the Sentry

      We have a competitor for the high end of the electronic flight bag market, we call it ADSBee Winglet: https://pantsforbirds.com/product/adsbee-winglet/

      We're focusing on embedded applications with ADSBee m1421 applications right now but it's definitely tempting to roll m1421 into a smaller flight bag device. It's something we might get back around to once we have Winglet off the ground.
