Working on a "Is this rare" application so you don't have to wonder! I could use some ideas and pointers!
Mictronic's aircraft database appears to be available on github as json. It looks like they may also have the type descriptions from the ICAO doc available in json at the same link. I haven't looked that closely at the data. Previously I wrote some code to scrape it from the ICAO site.

Python3 script to profile dump1090 output and maintain all-time records/statistics - any interest?
this sub recently turned me on to readsb-protobuf, which is a more modern decoder that fills the same role as dump1090. there's a really nice Docker container that packages it up, and includes an output to InfluxDB, a time-series database. so you could potentially build this as a set of queries against an Influx instance, rather than maintaining your own state in a JSON file.

FlightAware is looking for beta testers for new PiAware and FlightFeeder iOS alerts!
If you're interested in seeing your own data then you could just run something like readsb (https://github.com/Mictronics/readsb-protobuf) and tar1090 (https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090)

Hi, we're plane.watch and we <3 /r/perth... AMA!
Depending on what you're running, you can push to plane.watch via a combination of readsb and mlat-client or we can pull from you - jump into the Discord and we'll see what works?

Working preview of AirDash: New open source project to visualize your feeder data (details in comments)
I find the dependencies for readsb-protobuf really difficult to install manually according to the instructions at https://github.com/Mictronics/readsb-protobuf.

dump1090 help
dump1090-fa / readsb are meant to run via a systemd service. (https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Generic-systemd-service)

Python3 script to profile dump1090 output and maintain all-time records/statistics - any interest?
Make it a service and read just the aircraft.json at certain intervals, sleep in python. (https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Generic-systemd-service) That way the processing is better spread out.
