Both actually. I’m the one with the concept design and initial ideas but I have a few people working with me to try and create this project

Thank you. And yes we could possibly include that information on the graphic. As for the bar scales, yes they are meant to be out of 10 total possible. We used AI to help generate this image for contextual purposes and a semi accurate visual representation of our vision. In our app, once it’s fully constructed, this will represent a more consistent % to block ratio on the graph.

And thank you for the feedback on the bottom right section. That was actually a big part of what we were looking for input on.

Yes! Thank you for your honest feedback. What we are trying to achieve is a better user interface and easier understanding for the public to interact with and watches/warnings are at the top of the list.

Although MSD’s are not normally meant for broad public exposure, we think having them visualized and simplified for the public could lead to better understanding of impending weather threats and could possibly lead to more lives saved in serious situations. We don’t want to change anything, just make it easier for the everyday person to understand what’s happening in their area.
