@neverpanic @kleinsophie enroute is opensource free software. It can be improved by participation process. Its digital infrastructure so to speak.
Personally i don't use it, as I do a very different kind of flying to powered aircraft, and #XCSoar fits my use case better.
@scottjenson @juliu #XCSoar is constantly being criticized for having a bad ui. Its UI literally predates android/ios and was written for WinCE. The UI kit is self written and just doesn't look like today's smartphone toolkits. But often when we look at today's UI's we see that they wouldn't work, as you have to be able to operate the program with gloves / keyboard / joystick and on E-ink screens in high glare environments.
@katherined my favorite undermaintained project is #XCSoar https://xcsoar.org
Its a GPL2 FOSS tactical glide computer that many #paraglider and #soaring pilots rely on for making 500+km flights just with wind and sun. The appstore download has 100'000 users and very few contributers: https://github.com/XCSoar/XCSoar/graphs/contributors
