Hello Chris,

This is a very good idea! I should have done this a long time ago, like for my other major amateur-radio related software project, [SOTLAS](https://sotl.as).

I have taken your nudge and published the source code in three separate repositories, bundled under the “hamalert” organization in GitHub:

> **[HamAlert](https://github.com/hamalert)**
>
> Push notifications for amateur radio spots. HamAlert has 5 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

There is also a brainstorming wiki created last year after the discussion here: [Do you need any programming help?](https://forum.hamalert.org/t/do-you-need-any-programming-help/598)). It contains an architecture overview diagram to give potential contributors an idea of how the system currently works: [Home · hamalert/brainstorming Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/hamalert/brainstorming/wiki)

I think the most pressing tasks (now that scalability has become less of an issue in the foreseeable future thanks to the [introduction of Roaring Bitmaps in the backend](https://forum.hamalert.org/t/ft8-ft4-spots-backend-scalability/878)) are:

- More modern user interface (app, web)
- Live spot view on the web

73,
