Slowly but surely adding things to https://plaintextwaittimes.com/

I have really enjoyed going back to a text first information dense design. I'll likely build more tiny sites like this in the future.

Very nice! Do you plan on adding arrival/departure information, too? (Maybe also airports outside the US?)

I'm debating adding 3 things next: arrival/departures, general airport delays and ground stops, and yes airports outside the US. Less clean TSA like information from those sadly.

Right now the only special airport is DEN where I've started to gather the real time data. https://plaintextwaittimes.com/airport/den

Yeah, my impression has been that the whole space is a mess. How great would it be to have an app that can tell me about departures at any given airport in the world, including gate information, boarding / last call, has the plane arrived yet in the first place[0], …

[0]: Very useful to estimate whether there will be a delay or not.
