Growing the tribe

Join the Tribe

Pilots — we need beta testers. Any pilot can join. We need people who will really fly with it — file suggestions, submit reports, put real effort into shaping the product. iOS testing is live in TestFlight and the flight planning UX is in beta right now. Active beta testers get the app free for life.

Engineers who fly. Separately, I'm networking with iOS, Android, Web, Data, and AI engineers who are also pilots, astronauts, or bring real aerospace domain knowledge. I refuse to hand Xega's future to devs who don't know the space.

Early adopters. Paid subscribers who reach one continuous year before December 31, 2027 earn a permanent Founder badge. During 2026–27, first-year users get an early adopter badge with some exciting aerospace industry perks in the works. Stay tuned.

Conversational flight planning is fully live in the iOS app. The flight planning UX — a planning powerhouse on desktop, tablet, and mobile — is in beta now. Full EFB with in-flight connectivity hits iOS in March 2026. Agentic endpoints are coming so AI agents can leverage the planner directly. I am open to all kinds of “let's build together” conversations.
