I have used professional solutions for many years, and have seen more and of them move from being a one-time purchase to becoming a "Logbook as a Service" type subscription. After the one I have been using for the last couple of years, and had bought a "lifetime license" for ended up announcing they also moved to a subscription based service, I decided that I've had enough of it.

All that being said, while I know how to fly an aircraft, I never properly learned how to code, so if you are a professional programmer and your eyes are bleeding from what you're seeing or I am doing something immensely stupid, please do let me know! This project is my way of learning how to code, so I am more than open to feedback.

These are the guidelines for this project:

- Speed: openPilotLog is supposed to be fast, lean and efficient. I have settled on using the Qt framework for the gui and code, as well as sqlite for the database.
|
|
|
- Cross-Platform Support: I am primarily using Linux, but Windows and Mac (and maybe down the road iOS/Android) should also be supported. Qt provides this cross-platform compatibility.

While I am not opposed to cloud syncing functionality, I want the application to be independent of external services.

Clear answer for the time being - Don't use it. This is an early development stage and functionality, layout of the GUI etc. might change drastically. For this reason, I am not providing a release for now. If you want to try the programm, you'll have to compile it for yourself. QtCreator should work out of the box.

As mentioned before, feedback is welcome and invited! If you know of a better way of doing something, this is an open project so feel free to contribute!
