Ship Observations - notification bot on Mastodon

[kx1t]

Hey all,

A bunch of us have been running AIS receivers with Raspberry Pi and an application called "AIS-Catcher" to feed the usual services like ShipXplorer, MarineTraffic, VesselFinder, etc. I have developed a notification-bot for these receivers which is in its "alpha test release". It sends messages for newly observed vessels and vessels that are on the move, to Mastodon and Discord.

You can basically follow us at these links:

- BostonHarbor (East-Boston, MA) - https://airwaves.social/@bostonharbor
- Portishead (near Bristol, UK) - https://airwaves.social/@portisheadAIS
- New Orleans, LA (on and off) - https://airwaves.social/@portofneworleans

If you have an AIS receiver using AIS-Catcher, let me know if you want to set up notification - we can help!
