Hi all! Thanks for all of your support, it really blew up!

The website is lagging right now and I am working on upgrading the serversThank you for your patience

Edit: the 2nd server is almost ready now! I will need to install the SSL cert which may cause the site to slightly break for a minute

Edit 2: both servers are fully up and running now! thanks for y'all's patience and support!

Did you know about https://habhub.org/ ? They have a predictor too for actual launches. I’ve used it to launch three balloons years ago.

And the live tracker for actual balloons

Well back when I participated they were actually just a bunch of volunteers/hobbyists doing it in their free time. Not sure if a part of it has been professionalized by now. But yea, it's all very slick.

It's brilliantly fun, educational, and quite surprising!
