Two days building a way home

RAJE3 started on 14 October. By the next day it was showing real routes home for Saudis stuck abroad after Riyadh's airport was suspended.

The map was the easy part. The hard part was a single rule: nothing operational is ever invented. Every flight, price and advisory carries a source and a timestamp. If a route can't be confirmed, the card says so — in a section literally called Still to confirm.

A few decisions that came straight out of that rule:

• It never recommends crossing a land border without official proof that the border is open.
• When an embassy's official site contradicts itself, the conflicting fields are hidden instead of guessed.
• The help-request draft never asks for a passport or ID number, and it never leaves your device.

It's an early release. It's honest about what it doesn't know, which in a crisis is most of the value.
