Developer uses Claude Code to recreate vintage airport departure boards

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer used Claude Code to recreate a digital version of old Solari departure boards, complete with animated split-flap characters and the ability to disassemble the components. The project, analogflightboard.com, leverages real-time departure data from 48 airports. The developer emphasized a workflow involving grounding Claude in research from service manuals and patents, breaking down tasks, and iterating through a tight feedback loop, resulting in approximately 17 hours of active Claude Code sessions.
