Finished MVP

A single-page static site would be easiest to launch quickly, so let's build that.

Using Jekyll and Bulma I was able to create the departures board aesthetic I wanted in a few hours.

Without validation it made zero sense to build a backend so enter Airtable as our database of TestFlight links since it's free and provides an easy way to accept user submitted links.

With Netlify hooked up to the Jekyll repo, hosting is done.

Site updates are a simple process of exporting a CSV from Airtable and committing It to the Jekyll repo which triggers a site update on Netlify.

Registered flydepartures.com and launched.
