| 0:00.0 | I took a flight last week and I saw two sites that I thought were noteworthy for nerds like us. |
| 0:07.6 | Wait, you saw somebody using Overcast in the wild? |
| 0:09.7 | Saw someone using Overcast while wearing a Vision Pro. |
| 0:12.9 | Neither of those things. |
| 0:14.1 | That's impressive. |
| 0:14.9 | Well, I don't know how you would see that. |
| 0:16.4 | Exactly. |
| 0:17.1 | But first, here I'll send this picture in Slack. |
| 0:20.8 | I saw this across the aisle and |
| 0:22.8 | ahead of ahead by one seat what app is he using flighty that's right that is our friend ryan |
| 0:29.8 | jones's app flighty this is look i'm always looking to see what people are using on their |
| 0:34.3 | planes and trains and stuff is this a rare site isn't flighty like super popular like super popular? I think it, but I sent it to Ryan and he said he's never seen it in the |
| 0:42.5 | wild either. Wow. So not only was this person using Flaidi, the guy behind him was also using |
| 0:51.1 | flighty. Everybody should be using Flaidi. Like I don't even fly that much, but like, seriously, if you don't have flydy, if you, |
| 0:56.6 | I fly so rarely, but it's still worth it for me to track other people's flights. I track my family's likes. My wife travels for work a lot. I have flighty just to track her flights. I'm not even the one flying. It's still worth it. Yeah, it's fantastic. And I should briefly interject that when flighty was new, it was priced fairly, but for someone |
| 1:16.1 | who flies only a couple times a year, I found it to be very expensive. |
| 1:20.2 | But since that time, and I'm not saying their price was unfair, just because I never fly. |
| 1:25.5 | I didn't really, you know, need it. |
| 1:27.2 | But they've |
| 1:27.7 | since added a, like, pay as you go, like a weekly plan, which is five bucks a week. Yeah, that's what I get. Because, like, I don't fly that much. Like, it's, I think it's something like 50 or 60 bucks a year if you, if you want the yearly plan. But I don't fly that often. So I just, every time I fly somewhere, I just buy the week pass and then end it when I, |
| 1:44.2 | when I'm back. And then next time I fly, I buy another week pass. It's super easy. |
| 1:47.4 | Compared to how much you get... that often. So I just, every time I fly somewhere, I just buy the week pass and then end it when I, |
