If this makes you look up, it's working.
The design docs, the roadmap, the catalog decisions and the weekly devlog are all out in the open: https://t.co/VNHkvnlIb0
If you're curious what one person + AI coding tools can actually ship in 2026, this is my honest answer.
I'm MeriΓ§, TA3DIY. This started as a personal catalog of every plane my first antenna heard.
The part I love: I'm a radio hobbyist, not a developer. The game is vibe coded: AI agents wrote the code, I designed, reviewed and tested everything against my own antenna.
You don't need expensive gear. Any SDR that can hear 1090 MHz will do, and a cheap RTL-SDR dongle with its stock antenna is enough for day one.
Upgrading your setup is part of the game. Your farthest catch is a tracked record.
Catch Fleet is NOT a flight tracker.
Trackers show you everything, instantly, and nothing feels earned.
In Catch Fleet, only your own antenna counts. Every aircraft in your Dex physically flew through your sky and your station caught it.
The sky above you is full of voices.
Every airliner crossing your horizon announces itself on 1090 MHz, to anyone who cares to listen.
I built a game about listening. It's called Catch Fleet, and the Alfa is open. π§΅
