That name is really similar to https://spaceflightnow.com/ You might try picking a different name to avoid confusion.

Thanks so much for building ;)

Do you have any interest in creating a full space content channel? Heading down to Cape Canaveral or Texas to livestream launches?

I do already have a YouTube - however maintaining the application is a full-enough part time gig. I plan on trying to grow the YouTube to the point I can hand it off and revenue share with a creator.

May I ask how many man-hours it takes to maintain the data each month? Are you able to automate much of it?

There is a small staff that voluntarily help source data, essentially as easy as watching Twitter. Not really possible to automate due to it being journalistic in general.

I enjoy this app because I get to hear about launches happening all around the world in real time. My only complaint is that it gives live notifications about launches I'm already watching, popping up over the YouTube stream.

One thing I’ve been looking for is a reliable but simple iOS app that will send notifications when a launch is going to happen. Usually with an hour and t-5 minute warning I think would be best.

It looks to me December 2019 was a very eventful month, launches happening almost every other day.

Woah - didn't expect to see this here - appreciate the OP sharing here.

Is it possible to get notifications for _just_ spacex launches with this?
Re:Space Launch Now – Spaceflight News and Events by mabbo on Sunday December 29, 2019 @09:40AM (#21906062)
You should check out the SpaceX subreddit for that. Incredible level of detail. A bit much on the Elon fanboyism, but you can spot that.
Re:Space Launch Now – Spaceflight News and Events by spacelaunchnow on Sunday December 29, 2019 @11:26AM (#21906687)
Yes, in both iOS and Android apps you can filter notifications to be only from your preferred locations or launch providers.

Why does it say that all the scheduled upcoming launches are “NO-GO”?
Re:Space Launch Now – Spaceflight News and Events by spacelaunchnow on Sunday December 29, 2019 @11:30AM (#21906715)
That essentially means the launch date is subject to move, based on un-confirmed/un-reliable sources, etc - GO for Launch means there is publicly posted information from the launch service provider or some other first party source that confirms the date.

Most launches end up being No-GO until the week or so before.

The pagination links have lots of spaces before the page number.

It would look better if it used fewer fonts.
