What do you do when war pushes at the door of your home? This question has followed me day after day. As you know, the war in Ukraine is brutal and has been going on for a long time. It scares me that one day it could happen to me as well. I live in Poland, where a potential confrontation is possible and increasingly certain.

I have been trying to help my family, friends and citizens prepare everyone for defense. I looked for a solution in information technology. One evening I found an interesting article about a young man who followed plane Elon Musk. For me, this is the key.

I thought I could monitor all the richest pols. The question was, how would I collect airplane numbers? After a brief reserch, I realized that it didn't make sense. I decided that I would only track private (expensive) planes heading west, which would help determine only the richest Poles.

As we well know, the billionaires will be the first to flee, and the ordinary and poor people will have to fight for the whole country. I thought it was necessary to create software for this!

I created a tool to help the people of the Eastern Bloc. The bot analyzes the data obtained from http://opensky-network.org in the Eastern Bloc countries (due to the conflict in Ukraine and the potential risk of war elsewhere). Based on the data obtained, an analysis is performed.
The tool focuses on private planes to catch the planes of the richest citizens. When a certain number of people leave their country for safer countries, it signals a potential threat and a Twitter post is automatically created.

I managed to write a second ever program in python quite efficiently, and open-source an Github. There's still a lot of work to be done, so if you're interested in helping Europeans before the war, you're welcome. Let's really improve the world, not prey on emotions to expand capital (as most startups do).
