Exciting #flightschools updates: - First school ever reached out and verified their profile! I tried to upsell them on a sponsored listing, let's see if it works. - Added 400+ new schools to the list. The total number of schools being tracked is now 2,457 and counting across all 50 states! - Flying Clubs are now listed alongside traditional flight schools - but only if they have flight instructors available to train students. These sort of clubs are often the cheapest way to get your pilot's license, so it was about time I added them to the site. - Aircraft billing is now way more obvious: the website shows you whether or not a school charges in tach hours or hobbs hours and explains the difference (see below: "TACH" tag visible next to hourly pricing). There's often a 25% cost difference between the two! - Admission fees, monthly membership dues, and other flight school/club fees are now taken into account for cost calculations. Some schools that previously ranked higher now rank lower due to hidden fees and hobbs vs. tach hours, and so on.

Move all data to postgres and optimize search so I can start doing interesting queries like "find all flight schools within 25 mi of my location" with postgis Also allows me to automate scraping new schools and inserting into the db (used to have all data in a .json file, but that's cumbersome to update as the app would have had to read json, add rows, rewrite json, rebuild entire backend just to update one row - sql is much better) #flightschools
