Cyteon Covers 3 devlogs and 15h 25m

Added way more info to the planes on the live map. It used to have pictures of the planes too but that is temporarily removed as the api i used isnt serving the images anymore (the removal is on api side so once it works i cna just change the api and the app will start working). also tried to optimize the map but didnt work, so its a bit buggy unless you zoom in

Added the following:
- A map of all live flights (does not include transoceanic ones due to some data source issues)
- Pressing a plane on the live map shows a bunch of info about it

The reason this took so long is that i initially used leaflet which was buggy af, then tried mapbox-gl for a while but paid, then ended up going with openlayers. As there isnt a lot of info on this about svelte, it took me a while.

This time also includes improvements on the api side, such as adding more data to the flight routes, etc

This is the inital devlog as i first decided to include this now.
It includes the backend api, and tauri w/ svelte mobile app

The backend has apis to fetch airlines, aircraft registrations, airports, callsigns (aka routes usually). And it also has auth; and a api giving all live flights and a endpoint to search all data, only for the app, not for public use.

The mobile app rn only has search, but im working on adding the live map rn
