HYPERBOREA / weather generator

**Posted by gizmomathboy** **Online!** 5/21/2022 3:58 pm

It seems like it's app release week or something.

I finally decided to push my weather generator app out of the nest and see if it flies or not.

I actually have 2 version with slightly different UI/UX.

I am still pondering how to make it look better in general.

I'm generally looking for which flow works better and why or why not.

Version 1:

https://www.gizmomathboy.com/weather

Version 2
https://www.gizmomathboy.com/weather2

I like version 1 just a bit more than 2. While you have to click through each step of the way it does give you a url you can save and just use over and over.

Version 2 probably could do that as well. I think the page where you select latitude and terrain type is kinda clunky.

As always, give things a try and let me know what I missed, didn't do "right", and whatever else.

I kinda like the results output to look like the old style of USA National Weather Service forecasts reports. That monospaced, computer terminal look.

The general look of each page could be better but it does the job :-)

lol, yes thought it looked dated, but as you stated it does the job!

Ghul, you came up with the tables, I just weaponized it :-)

Not sure if many folks were using the version 2 weather generator app but I've decided to stop it.

I like the version 1 better.

I went over to the discord server and someone mentioned putting in the cycle name as well as the cycle year (for another weather app IIRC).

So I did that for mine.

I also made some tweaks to make it a bit easier to read on my phone. Not sure I like what it looks like on my laptop.
