Skylight (MIT-licensed, 3.2k GitHub stars) decodes ADS-B with a $30 RTL-SDR dongle and projects every aircraft flying over your house onto your ceiling in real time — labeled with airline, type, and destination — over a live sky layer showing the sun, moon, stars, and the ISS. Docker and Raspberry Pi setup supported; a ready-made kit is planned.
