📓 Project Notes

🔍 Background

This was intended to solve a rather awkward dilemma. I turned a bunch of online Amtrak status boards made by Dixieland Software into PWAs (standalone web apps) for stations that I viewed on Virtual Railfan. While it was convenient (don't get me wrong) I had to create a new web app for each station, and it became rather overwhelming to constantly switch between them all. This front-end was intended to solve that mini-crisis by accessing all stations from a single application using a modern, cleaner interface. The original icons found in this project's first commit were used for those PWAs.
