Contributions summary:Barış significantly enhanced the `gpredict` application by integrating support for the Satnogs database. This involved fetching transponder data from an external JSON-based API and converting it into the format used by the application. Furthermore, the user refactored the code by hashmapping lookups and added modes files to improve the transponder data management within the satellite tracking application. The work involved modifying the existing file structure to accommodate the new database integration and improve the overall efficiency of transponder data handling.
