"Wind detail" view for wind stations
-
First of all, thank you for making it easier to check on recently reported wind data by adding the "Wind detail" view for station data:
Would it be possible to make this view the default when pulling up a station from "Reported wind" displays? Alternatively, could this selection be remembered for the account?
As a potential improvement, especially on mobile the "wind detail" view still has a lot of other details (incl. nearby webcams, air pressure etc), and the wind view itself is still very small. For wind sports like kitesurfing, paragliding, sailing etc really focusing on the wind with more vertical resolution could be nice I think. In many cases, users will check recent wind on launch or even in the air / on the water, and might have spotty connectivity. In those situations, avoiding additional bandwidth usage for webcam thumbs etc would usually be preferable.
As another idea, extending the current mouseover preview of recent wind readings with a small wind graph could make checking different sites a lot quicker. As an example, a common scenario is deciding where to go for a paragliding or kite session, based on the trend at several nearby sites. Ikitesurf has such mini graphs (on click in that case), and these tend to be very useful:
