I like it. My first instinct was to click on the radar to expand it (maybe because I'm trying to determine if I'll need a kayak to get to work tomorrow in PHL). I like that the timestamps for the radar frames were converted from GMT/Zulu for me.
Your hourly forecast is nice and clean. Have you considered adding greater detail to the precipitation icons? Percent probability or estimated total QPF? Either way, I think this is an easier presentation than the hourly weather graphs on NWS.
Bottom line, I'll keep checking back to see how things develop.
EDIT: Forgot to add - good job making the map responsive to zooming and panning. That is one thing that drives me nuts with many radar/map implementations.
- lootsauce 16y agoThanks for the feedback! You have NO IDEA how much work went into developing a performant tiled & animated map. Modest Maps was a very good base to build on and we tried several other options before we went with MM.
- marklabedz 16y agoI can imagine it was a significant effort considering all of the horrible implementations I've seen.
