Kewonit 4431c84ace feat: update OpenSky API integration and improve flight tracking
- Increased max duration for flight data requests from 10 to 30 seconds.
- Adjusted fetch timeouts and cache TTL to enhance performance.
- Implemented snapping of bounding box coordinates to a grid for better cache sharing.
- Enhanced flight data fetching logic to adapt polling intervals based on remaining API credits.
- Introduced a new adaptive polling mechanism with different tiers based on credit usage.
- Updated flight layers animation duration for smoother transitions.
- Added a new slider component for orbit speed control in the UI.
- Refactored flight card positioning logic to ensure it remains within viewport bounds.
- Improved control panel layout for better mobile usability.
- Adjusted default orbit speed settings for a more user-friendly experience.

# Aeris
Real-time 3D flight tracking — altitude-aware, visually stunning.
Aeris renders live air traffic over the world's busiest airspaces on a premium dark-mode map. Flights are separated by altitude in true 3D: low altitudes glow cyan, high altitudes shift to gold. Select a city, and the camera glides to that airspace with spring-eased animation.
**[Live Demo](https://aeris.edbn.me)**
## Stack
| Layer | Technology |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Framework | Next.js 16 (App Router, Turbopack) |
| Language | TypeScript |
| Styling | Tailwind CSS v4 |
| Map | MapLibre GL JS |
| WebGL | Deck.gl 9 (IconLayer, PathLayer, MapboxOverlay) |
| Animation | Motion (Framer Motion) |
| Data | OpenSky Network API |
| Hosting | Vercel |
## Getting Started
```bash
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# Optionally add OpenSky credentials — see .env.example
pnpm dev
```
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).

## Design
- **Dark-first**: CARTO Dark Matter base map, theme-aware UI
- **3D depth**: 55° pitch, altitude-based z-displacement via Deck.gl
- **Smooth animation**: Catmull-Rom spline trails, per-frame interpolation between polls
- **Glassmorphism**: `backdrop-blur-2xl`, `bg-black/60`, `border-white/[0.08]`
- **Spring physics**: All UI transitions use spring easing
- **Responsive**: Desktop sidebar dialog, mobile bottom-sheet with thumb-zone tab bar
- **API efficiency**: Adaptive polling (30 s → 5 min) based on remaining credits, Page Visibility pause, grid-snapped cache
- **Persistence**: Settings + map style in localStorage, `?city=IATA` URL deep links
