In the Flight Deck suite, every public release gets a callsign — the same style of letter-and-number shorthand you’d hear in real aviation.

Here’s the spirit of it:

development starts quietly in Alpha, moves into Bravo during beta testing, and the moment a version is ready for takeoff it earns its first real callsign: Charlie 1.

From there, the sequence climbs naturally: Charlie 2, Charlie 3, and so on.

When we hit the next major milestone, the callsign advances to Delta 1, then Echo 1, Foxtrot 1… each one marking a new chapter, not just a patch.

Why? Because it feels better than a maze of numbers. It gives every release a sense of identity.

This way, when you see Charlie or Delta, you instantly know the scale of what changed. When you see the number tick up, you know the refinement continues.

It’s simple, memorable, and a little more fun than “version 1.0.3.”
