StaffTraveler Alternative

I built an open-source alternative to StaffTraveler that rewards airline employees who provide flight load information.

You can check it out here:

The site is fully functioning and already being used, and you can see current contributors on the Leaderboard section.

Transparency / Disclosure (per subreddit rules):

• Pricing: The platform is currently 100% free to use. There are no paid features right now. If pricing is introduced in the future (for example credits or optional premium features), it will be clearly disclosed upfront before implementation.
• Data openness: The codebase and system concept are open-source. Flight load responses are community-submitted data, similar to how other standby communities share loads. The platform itself does not restrict users from viewing shared load responses once requests are answered.
• PII / Data collection: The only data collected is basic account information required for login (email and password) so users can submit or answer requests and earn credits. No additional personal information is required.
• Data usage: Account data is used only for authentication and tracking credits/requests within the system.
• Affiliation: This project is independent and not affiliated with StaffTraveler or any airline.
• Access limitations: Anyone can sign up, but only verified airline employees can provide load information, since the platform rewards them for contributing.

The goal is to build a community-driven standby resource that gives airline employees recognition and rewards for sharing load info rather than locking it behind expensive credits.
