Q&A: How Plane Finder set itself up for the long haul

Plane Finder founders Jodie and Lee Armstrong share how they built a global flight-tracking business with a team of just eight people by going all-in on Apple's native ecosystem since 2009. They discuss their early adoption philosophy, reliance on MapKit, Metal, and StoreKit 2, their approach to Liquid Glass, and how they grew a worldwide network of self-manufactured flight receivers by leveraging their app's user base. They also hint at upcoming UI changes under the codename 'Plane Finder Double Glazed' and plans to explore machine learning.
