<![CDATA[Suggestion: Enable fractional zoom]]>Would it be possible to enable fractional zoom on mouse wheel?

When you try fractional zoom, it's hard to get back because so much smoother.

That would make windy even nicer to use.

Thanks for the great work!

When You release the screen it snaps to the next or last zoom-step with usual font size. Maybe code could be written to freeze the loupe (delay the snapping step) until tap or double tap?
Maybe a button was convenient to activate this function.

Fractional zoom would be great here too, but there's another aspect:

Especially with bigger screens, it would be great to zoom in and out using only one thumb: double tap/hold/drag. Since there are also no plus/minus buttons, at the moment one always needs a second hand to be able to pinch to zoom out - e.g. in the radar map. Thanks!

It's really hard on the eyes to get back to non-fractional zooming.

However, the user experience of fractional zooming in Leaflet is not consistent across devices (even in the example above).

We'll make it work (as a side effect of other improvements) but it can't be enabled just like that without other adjustments.

Let me know if there is someone in the frontend team I should discuss with (now that Marek is backend).

It is planned to slowly implement this into Windy, however, I am not able to specify this more.

See https://leafletjs.com/examples/zoom-levels/#fractional-zoom

It's mostly about passing a config option to leaflet and it really makes a difference.

From my testing, it looks like the mouse wheel might not use fractional zoom by default with Leaflet but that should be easy enough to implement.
