- 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.

## 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
|
