Marcel de Bont Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hey folks, We made some minor changes to our home page! Bit less cluttered, essential information up front, buttons with drop downs to more information but the basic principles are the same. Just take a look to see what you think. Comments about the good and bad are more than welcome! Cheers! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebarch Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Definitely like how things are a bit more compact. As an amateur radio operator, the "Today's Sun" info is really what I'm looking for. It's a slight nuisance to have to click to see it every time now. I'm also really interested in seeing the Solar activity graph. Based on the screen size I'm using, I may not be able to see that together with "Today's Sun". I really liked how those two were previously near each other. Just minor critiques. Thanks for all you do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments about the good and bad are more than welcome! Cheers! Not gonna lie, I prefer more scrolling to drop downs. But, I can live with it. The one thing that is real bother is not having hemispheric power visible without clicking a button. I use hemispheric power a lot, probably the most used data behind solar wind/imf. And I definitely use it more than the Ovation map that is shown by default without using a button. I’d much prefer either Ovation and hemispheric power swapped places with HP visible by default and the oval with a button, or simply display no all the time in this case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Warfel Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 @Marcel de Bont @Vancanneyt Sanderwhat happened to the the estimated probabilities of “minor” “active” and “severe” aurora at low, middle, and high latitudes? I don’t see it anywhere on the homepage including dropdowns. Was it just removed? I kinda liked it but I guess it wasn’t actually all that useful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Since there is more space) I prefer the larger ratio on the slackpot/magnetometers, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP is always good to track for auroras (and can even be more important than Kp for viewing!). But I also think the aesthetics of the Hemispheric Power data look good on the page 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel de Bont Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 We see and read all your comments, thanks for the input. About the HP index... the HP index is calculated by the OVATION computer model and the auroral oval map is also drawn using this data. If you see the auroral oval is getting yellow, orange or red you know the calculated HP index is also elevated. If you really want to see the exact number and not just use the map (which basically shows the number visualized) you can just open the drop down? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be applied to all buttons? And I assume it would work in the app too? That’s what I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

explodabat Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 One comment I have on the home page is that there appear to be extra borders around the solar wind readout graphs that extend past the column. I am using the Firefox browser (v104.1, Windows), but I also see this in Chromium-based Edge (v104.0.1293.70) and in the Android app. From what I can tell, these borders are being generated through a media selector CSS rule that is applied to the "graph"-classed <div> elements, which sets the background-color style attribute of those elements. Disabling this rule, at least on my end, seems to only remove the extra borders, and appears otherwise harmless, so perhaps that is something that could be changed to help streamline the look of the new columns, at least if the rule isn't important for other parts of the site styling?

Dr. I Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Like see solar flux when page opens, drop down an extra step. Liked Far side bigger. I mean its def more compact, but prefer the other way. Edited September 6, 2022 by Dr. I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
