I'm a computer science student . Aviation's been a niche I love, so when I went looking for a project, this was the one. Here's the gap I found: General aviation software is split into two camps ,genuinely good free tools that each do one thing, and expensive but worthwhile suites running $125–250+/year (ForeFlight, Garmin, Sporty's). What was missing was a general hub: log your flights per regulation, yes, but also pull up quick tools, check the map, compare fuel prices — all in one browser tab, nothing to install. So I built AviationHub (aviationhub.im). Free tier gets the full logbook (unlimited flights, FAA/EASA currency computed automatically, CSV import), the flight planner with community fuel prices, and a cheapest-fuel-stop optimizer. Pro is $3.99/mo, Pro+ $6.99/mo — deliberately priced between free and the incumbents. The feature I'm most excited about is still beta, a mechanic marketplace built on the logbook. When you log a flight you can attach any squawks; they're tied to that specific aircraft (clubs with fleets, or multi-plane owners), building a digital maintenance history. From there you can send the issue to an open marketplace where certified mechanics see your request *with the plane's full maintenance log attached*, the complete picture at once, and pricing pressure instead of whatever your hangar's guy quotes you. It also incentivizes pilots to keep records current, because a well-kept logbook makes their plane more sellable: our aircraft marketplace shows maintenance stats and hours straight from the owner's logbook. Also built in: flying-club workspaces (aircraft scheduling with maintenance block-outs, hobbs billing that generates and emails PDF member invoices, dues, credits/debits) — that's the part clubs currently pay separately for. Solo-built, Next.js + SQL Server. There's a full interactive demo on the homepage ,no signup, sample data, nothing saves. I'd genuinely appreciate a look: what's broken, what you'd never pay for, what's missing. Brutal feedback welcome , it all goes in the build queue.   submitted by   /u/masterkoster [link]   [comments]
