My 3rd feature added to SkyOS is a nice little flight radar widget found at the bottom right corner of the desktop. I utilized the OpenSky API to display the number of aircraft in your area, and the callsign and altitude of the closest plane to your location. I will say the visual aspects of this feature was pretty easy to create, however is was the logic behind this that took some time to understand. Overall, I’m pretty happy about this feature! The only gripe I have is the limited amount of times you can call data from it, so I had to set the refresh rate to 60 seconds, which is a little slow.
