Main app
- No backdrop-filter over the live map, animated sky, or sticky headings (it re-blurs every
frame; on iPhone that is a classic stutter/lock-up); top/bottom bars keep a light 8px blur
- Sky effect only draws while the hero is on screen and the Now tab is active, ~30fps cap,
fewer particles on phones; fixed a stale animation-frame id that could stop restarts
Dashboard
- Charts are built only when the Charts tab is opened (was ~11 charts on every page load),
and the 2-minute refresh no longer rebuilds them in the background
- On phones: max 360 points per chart (was 720), no entry animation, device pixel ratio capped at 2
- Lighter header blur, none on small buttons/cards

The ⌖ button reported 'Location access denied' for every failure, including timeouts and
no-GPS-fix errors that have nothing to do with permission.
- Specific messages for denied / no fix / timeout, with the exact iPhone steps (Safari tab vs
installed web app) and the error code for diagnosis
- One patient high-accuracy retry for slow or cold GPS fixes (a real denial is not retried)
- Live permission status line under the search row (allowed / not asked / blocked)
- Mentions Safari content blockers as a possible cause

Hurricane / tropical storm fixes
- NHC intensity is in knots: show real mph (80 kt = 92 mph) instead of mislabelled 'mph'
- Real Saffir-Simpson category from wind (was always cat 1); subtropical, post-tropical and
potential-cyclone types no longer shown as 'depression'; each storm shows movement
(direction + mph, previously a non-existent field), distance from you, update time, advisory link
- Forecast track points coloured by their own forecast strength (not the current class)
- Map click handlers registered once (popups stacked on every refresh); overlays wait for the
map to settle instead of silently not drawing while tiles load; stale renders superseded
- Subtropical/tropical advice added to alert guidance; escaped storm names
Alert cards (active alerts only)
- What it's for, area, window, time remaining, plain-language meaning, what to do, and a
Full details expander (headline, text, instructions, severity/urgency/certainty, issuer)
- No longer drops alerts beyond 6 per severity group; expired alerts are filtered out
- Shared plain-language alert glossary (alert-info.js, 64 products incl. tropical and surge)
now used by both the app and the dashboard history

- Map fills everything between the top bar and bottom nav; no page scroll on this tab
- Floating round controls (layers, my location, full screen), readout chips top-left,
layers sheet beside the controls, weather summary + radar timeline floating at the bottom
- Safe-area aware in full-screen mode; zoom buttons tucked away on touch devices

- Map fills the screen (was a 56vh strip); timeline and details sit below it
- No longer snaps back to the main-page radar's location/zoom on every refresh or tab switch;
starts as a wider regional view, remembers pan/zoom, and recentres only when the location changes
- New 'My location' button

- Install banner (phones), Settings guide and dialog with iPhone/iPad and Android steps,
native Install button where supported; steps also on the dashboard Account page
- apple-touch-icon now a PNG (iOS ignores SVG icons)
- Shared pwa-safe.css: dark cap behind the status bar/Dynamic Island in the installed app,
inset-aware offline banner, pull-to-refresh, bottom bars, full-screen map, dialogs
- Landscape-aware content gutters; measured top-bar height; viewport-fit=cover on every page

- overscroll-behavior moved from <body> to <html>: with html+body both overflow-x:hidden,
body is a scroll container and the rule blocked wheel scrolling from reaching the page
- sunTimes returned the neighbouring day's sunrise/sunset (julian-day rounding), so midday
looked like night; align results to the requested local day

- One slate/blue palette across the app, dashboard, account/login pages (data colours
stay orange = warm, blue = cool on the dashboard)
- Slim sticky top bar with location chip, gear (settings) and ? (learn); 4-tab nav
(Now, Station, Map, Alerts) with a thumb-reach bottom bar on phones
- Hero sky gradient by condition/time with rain, storm, snow and star effects
(respects reduced motion); keeps the searched city and badges when temps come from your station
- One-line summary, 'Next 2 hours' bars and rain countdown from 15-minute precipitation,
rain/cold-aware 'Bring' chips; yesterday + 'vs usual' context from the station
- Scrubbable hourly chart (temp, rain chance, wind), 7-day range bars, AQI gauge,
details tiles instead of drawers, taller radar with location marker + alert polygons
- Skeleton loading instead of a full-screen spinner, sticky section headers, safe areas
- Server: minutely_15 precipitation, public /api/station/summary
