What Hacker News says

2 sources
The world of ADS-B decoders is an annoyingly messy one, but antirez's dump1090 is the oldest decoder there is and you almost certainly don't want to use it--The decoding logic hasn't been improved in more than 7 years. Wiedehopf's readsb is the latest decoder, which is under active development, and designed to pair well with the front-end UI that is also under the most active current development, tar1090. Installation instructions for readsb: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/wiki/Automatic-ins... The world of ADS-B decoders is annoyingly confusing, mostly because people keep forking one executable (while keeping the same name) that does both decoding and web UI instead of creating a decoding library where we could pool our collective efforts at improvement.
