There was a post about our Tomales sensor this morning. When I tried to answer it, the entire post disappeared. Please repost question

The old Classic IW is on its last legs. The only programmers who know that ancient code are all retired or in old folks' homes or dead.

Unfortunately, like some of us aging WSers.... Smile

Since it is "all about the ebb," before classic is gone, may we have the data for currents for certain sites (e.g., TI) made available on the windalert app?

Hi Radross,

The main focus of Weatherflow right now is expanding sales of our consumer Tempest weather stations.

Since all 65,000 Tempest stations are networked and feed into our AI and ML modeling they have great potential for providing improved data and forecast modeling to all our military, civic and enterprise customers eg.

https://business.weatherflow.com/lightning-data-solution
https://business.weatherflow.com/nearcast-technology

But we know and love our windsurfing roots. So hopefully that income will allow us to make new websites for iW, iK, Sailflow, Fishweather, TempestOne WindAlert etc. which will inclure include new and old features like currents.

Please DO NOT get rid of the Classic IWS format.
Thank you.

Although I am still committed to the IWclassic website, I'm curious if a couple of the barriers for folks to adapt the new WindAlert format might be the lower contrast and smaller fonts...I'm not always wearing my reading glasses when checking the wind on my phone, and if I can't see the numbers, I'm frustrated (and go back to Classic). It's particularly vexing when I zoom and the numbers stay the same size (just like streetnames in google maps...argh).

Anyway, if there was some sort of canned "accessibility" features in the windalert preferences that you could point us to, it would be nice to try those.
I'd love to see bigger fonts, higher contrast, and could easily give up some of the fine detail in wind streamlines, etc.

And as you can probably guess, I'm REALLY happy with the wap.iwindsurf.com interface. That's my mobile device go-to site. I hope that's not based on legacy HTML too...probably is!
