DRAW TOOL
-
I wish there was a draw tool and if there is please tell me. Thank you for reading this!

Yep, I think that implementing a drawing tool on map canvas, of type:
- basic (lines/polygons/text/etc.):
-- would make happy any user profile and for any purpose (mainly kind of "Sir, draw me a sheep" :o))) - more sophisticated (fronts, clouds, WMO weather symbols, etc.):
-- much harder and risky to implement
-- would open a door to weather forecasters (amateurs or professionals); e.g. they could draw then share maps with all those holy air mass fronts requested by many Windy users
-- there is this OGC open source standard WMO markers library
- basic (lines/polygons/text/etc.):

This feature was available one year ago. It was "hand drawing" tool.
Here the only drawing I made

As most of drawings were generally really crazy and without any interest as you can see by the link above (more than 700 drawings), this tool has been deleted:

Then sharing maps showing official weather symbols would leave to thinking that they are done by Windy.
Not a good idea for me. Or it would need a notification to underline that these additional drawings are not made by Windy.
