Redesign the shared category distribution (calendar totals + compare page)
from thin percentile lines into a connected bar chart. Each tier is a bar,
low→high, sitting on a shared baseline: the tier's average value sits above
the bar, its min–max range inside it, and the share (or count) with the tier
name below. Bar height still encodes frequency within the metric's scale
group. Works for every measure — High/Low/Feels in °F/°C, humidity g/m³,
wind/gust mph, precip inches, dry-streak days.
- metricBuckets() now returns objects ({label,color,n,group,cls?,unit,values})
and collects each category's actual values, not just a count, so distStrip
can compute the per-tier average and range.
- distStrip() renders the connected bars and formats values in the metric's
unit via new fmtMetricVal/fmtMetricRange helpers (temps follow the active
°C/°F unit; the rest are fixed-unit).
- Because the chart now prints temperatures, it re-renders on the °C/°F
toggle: wired in compare.js's onUnitChange and a new onUnitChange in
calendar.js (the grid itself stays tier-colored, reading temps live).
- Callers updated for the object buckets (b.n instead of b[2]); CSS reworked
from thin lines to connected bars with an in-bar range pill.
Make the comfort/tolerance slider self-explanatory and fix its labeling.
- A temperature marker sits above each of the four handles (the band
borders) — the two comfort bounds and the two tolerance bounds — so the
numbers read straight off the track instead of a combined caption.
- The header is now two disparate labels, "Comfort lo–hi" and "Tolerance
tlo–thi", rather than the old "Comfort & tolerance 16–22 · tolerance
4–27" that mislabeled the comfort range.
- Distribution-bar key: on desktop each category label is positioned at its
segment's midpoint (ends pinned to the bar edges) so the labels line up
under the colors they describe; on mobile it stays a plain wrapping row.
The bar showed each segment's share but not what it meant, leaning on the
coloured below/above-comfort text to explain it. Replace that text with a
per-card key directly under the bar: a colour swatch + plain name + share for
every bucket present (Too cold / Cool / Comfortable / Warm / Too hot), in the
same cold→hot order as the bar. Every span is spelled out, so a 1% sliver is
as clear as a 60% block, and small segments no longer need to fit a label
inside them. Bar segments also carry a hover title. The redundant top legend
is removed (each card now names its own colours), and the leftover summary
line keeps just the tolerance share and typical miss.
The diverging comfort bar read as noise — half the track sat empty and the
lighter/saturated tolerance split was unlabeled, so the coloured chunks had
no clear meaning. Replace it with one full-width bar that is 100% of the
place's days, split into five temperature buckets ordered cold → hot in the
site's own temperature colours: too cold, cool (within tolerance),
comfortable, warm (within tolerance), too hot. Wide segments print their
share inline, and a legend above the cards names every colour. More blue =
runs cold, more red = runs hot, with no empty space to decode.
Ranking by raw comfort% tied extreme places (Death Valley ranked #2 just
because 26% of days happened to land in-band). Replace it with a weighted
score that folds in tolerance days and miss magnitude, add an outer
tolerance range, and fix the Feels basis.
- Match score (0–100): each day scores full credit inside comfort [lo,hi],
partial credit inside the tolerance range (ramped 1→0 by how far past the
comfort edge it lands), zero beyond tolerance. Rank by the mean; tie-break
by smaller typical miss. Death Valley's hot days now score ~0 so it drops
to last. The score is the card's headline number.
- Tolerance range [tlo, thi] as an outer dual-thumb pair on the same track
(four handles, tlo ≤ lo ≤ hi ≤ thi), persisted + in the share hash.
Defaults to comfort widened 10° each side. The diverging bar now splits
each side into a within-tolerance band (lighter, near centre) and a
beyond-tolerance band (saturated), and the baseline strip shades the
tolerance range faintly around the comfort band.
- Feels basis now judges the felt daytime high (fmax) instead of the
combined `feels` metric, which reports whichever apparent extreme is
furthest from 65°F — in mild climates that flips to the cold overnight
low in winter and made comfortable days nearly vanish.
Rework the compare results so the winner, the cold/warm skew, and the
places' baselines all read at a glance, and make loading obvious.
- Diverging comfort bar per place: colder days grow left of a fixed
centre comfort marker, warmer days grow right, both on one 0–100%
scale — a cold-skewed place and a hot-skewed one mirror each other and
compare directly. Replaces the left-anchored stacked bar + 3-up stat
grid (the grid was the main mobile-clutter source).
- Baseline strip above the cards: every place's average basis temp on
one shared °F axis with the comfort range shaded, plus a middle-80%
(p10–p90) spread, so baselines line up side by side. computeStats now
also returns avgTemp/p10/p90.
- Stronger winner: filled accent rank badge, accent card frame, and a
"Best match" flag on the subline.
- Real in-progress state: a CSS spinner ring on loading chips, a queued
dot on pending chips, an inline spinner in the header, and shimmering
skeleton cards for still-loading places (previously only muted text —
the referenced chip spinner never existed).
- Mobile: tighter baseline gutter/axis and caption sizing.
* Compare: comfort range slicer + per-location climate distribution
Replace the comfort-point + band sliders with a single dual-handle range
slicer: a day hits comfort when its judged temperature lands in [lo, hi];
below lo is colder, above hi is warmer. State is the range in °F, so old
c/t links and stored prefs migrate to a range. Ranking, average miss, and
the typical-miss figure are all computed against the range.
Add a climate-distribution section below the ranked cards, independent of
the comfort filter: its own metric selector (High/Low/Feels/Humid/Wind/
Gust/Precip/Dry streak) plus a share/count toggle render one Record-Low→
Record-High distribution strip per location, mirroring the calendar.
Extract the calendar's category bucketing and distribution strip into
shared metricBuckets/distStrip so both pages share one implementation;
calendar output is unchanged.
* Carry the calendar's wet/dry scale-group logic into the shared distribution helpers
* Carry the precip strip's per-tier label hook into the shared distribution helper
On narrow screens the single-word "Moderate" label sits between the two-line
"Light–Mod" and "Mod–Heavy" labels; its centered box is wider than the column
and spilled over their first line. Tag each rain column with its tier key and
nudge the "Moderate" (wet-5) label up into the empty gap above to clear it.
On phones the location-picker modal is a full-screen sheet sized with
height: 100vh. On iOS Safari 100vh is the large-viewport height (measured
as if the browser toolbars were retracted), so while the toolbars are
showing the bottom of the sheet — the footer with the 'Use this location'
button — falls behind Safari's chrome and is cut off.
Size the sheet with 100dvh (dynamic viewport height), which tracks the
currently-visible height. The flex map yields the space so the footer
stays on screen. 100vh is kept as a fallback for older engines, and the
footer gains safe-area-inset-bottom padding to clear the home indicator
once the bottom toolbar retracts.
The #day-body card grid used bare 1fr columns, whose minimum track size is
the widest card's min-content. The humidity ladder's nowrap value ranges
("17.3 g/m³–19.9 g/m³") pushed that minimum past the viewport on phones —
the page scrolled sideways 21px at 390px wide and 51px at 360px — so the
whole Day view sat off-center.
- Size #day-body columns with minmax(0, 1fr) so card content can never
widen the page canvas.
- Collapse the unit repeated on both range bounds ("17.3–19.9 g/m³") and
drop it from the observed ◀ marker; the unit still reads from the card
summary, median, and historical range.
- Let .ladder-val wrap as a last resort instead of nowrap-widening the row.
- Rebalance the mobile ladder tracks (pct 54→46, marker 48→42) so the
longest range stays on one line down to ~375px screens; narrower than
that it wraps cleanly at the unit.
- Deleted the rules for elements that no longer exist (verified by
auditing every style.css class selector against all class usage in
HTML/JS, including dynamically-built names): the pre-modal inline
search/suggestions, the old two-column .layout + inline #map, the
.panel fixed-height scroller (+ its now-pointless .panel-full
neutralizer and 900px escape), .share-btn, the pre-dropdown calendar
filter chips, .series-toggle, the .grade.danger/.d-rec-* set and the
bare .legend block. Leaflet's classes stay (styled runtime DOM).
- The four scattered max-width:640px blocks are now one block at the end
of the sheet, where mobile overrides belong.
- The accent-button recipe (5 copies) and the 16px text-input recipe
(4 copies) are each one grouped rule; components keep only their
deltas. The iOS zoom-on-focus rule now has a single documented home.
(The consolidation also restored the .date-row button rule that the
dead-search deletion would otherwise have taken with it.)
993 -> 919 lines. Verified pixel-identical: full-page screenshots of all
five pages at 390/800/1280px and the opened picker modal are
byte-for-byte equal before/after (headless Chromium).
- Calendar: the 'Color the calendar by' selector shrinks to its tabs and sits
centered over the month grid beyond phone widths (scoped under .metric-block
so the Compare basis toggle keeps filling its param cell).
- Calendar: the category-totals strip widens to 960px and centers in the
content column.
- Weekly: the chart metric switch likewise shrinks to its tabs and centers
over the trend chart. Phone layouts (full-width 4-per-row toggles) are
untouched.
- Widen the content column in steps at 1680/2400/3400px so 1440p-4K monitors
get real layout instead of a 1200px strip; header brand aligns with it.
- Calendar: months flow as a responsive multi-column grid (year-at-a-glance
on desktop, single column on phones); the time-filter panel spans the
content width as one row (Range | Seasons/Years/Weather) on desktop;
category-totals strip widened to 720px.
- Day: metric ladder cards lay out 2-up from 1000px (3-up at 4K).
- Weekly: the calendar CTA is a compact button (sub-line removed); the trend
chart's drawing width now tracks its container (~1.5 CSS px per SVG unit,
redrawn on resize) so wide screens gain plot room instead of magnification.
- Compare: scope the rank-bar segment colors to .cmp-seg — the bare
.cmp-comfort rule was painting a green box behind the comfort slider.
- Calendar/Compare From-To month inputs open the native month picker on
click (input.showPicker, ignored where unsupported).
- CLAUDE.md: require validating design changes at mobile/tablet/1080p/2K/4K.
Add /api/v2/suggest and wire the location picker's search box to it as a
debounced type-ahead: top-5 place suggestions that tolerate a single-letter
typo (substituted, missing, or extra letter, or two adjacent letters swapped)
anywhere in the query, including the first character.
- backend/places.py: local place index built from a GeoNames cities dump
(downloaded once into data/geonames/, loaded in a background thread; the
app boots and serves without it). Exact-prefix matches rank first by
population, then names one edit away; a token vocabulary respells one
mistyped word against known place-name tokens ("pest seattle" ->
"west seattle") for retry against the upstream geocoder, which covers
neighbourhood-level places the dump lacks. THERMOGRAPH_CITIES picks the
dump (default cities1000).
- /suggest blends local and upstream results by population with an exactness
boost, so "Seatle" (a Cumbrian hamlet) can't outrank Seattle when the
query is one edit from the city, while "munchen" still surfaces Munich via
upstream (the index only knows English names). Upstream lookups are
memoized and skipped entirely when the index answers convincingly.
- mappicker.js: debounced (250ms) live suggestions with abort + sequence
guards against stale responses, arrow-key navigation, Enter-picks-highlight,
Escape dismissing the list before closing the overlay. Submit goes through
the same typo-tolerant endpoint.
- climate.geocode results now carry population (used for ranking).
* Pin the °F/°C toggle to the header's top-right on all widths
The unit toggle sat inside .brand after a flex-basis:auto title block, so on
narrow (phone) widths the long tagline claimed the first row and bumped the
toggle onto its own line mid-header. Give the title block flex:1 1 0 with
min-width:0 so it contributes ~nothing to the wrap decision and shrinks
instead — keeping the toggle on the logo's row, top-right, with the tagline
wrapping beneath and the view tabs on their own row below.
* Weekly view: center the daily-graded window on the target day
Reframe the "Daily, graded" chart + table on the weekly view around the
selected target day instead of ending at it:
- Show two weeks of history before the target, the target itself, then up
to 7 days after it. Days after the target are real observations when they
are already in the past and the forward forecast when they run into the
future.
- Mark the target day with a solid orange line on the chart (and an accent
edge on its table column); draw the dashed "forecast →" divider only where
the window actually crosses into the future and it is separated from the
target marker.
Backend: _build_grade now grades a [target-days, target+after] window built
from both the archive and the recent+forecast bundle (the bundle wins per
date; the archive fills older gaps), so any past target renders its
surrounding week. api/grade gains an `after` param (default 7) and the cache
key includes it; the /cell prefetch bundle builds the matching slice.
Frontend: the chart consumes the server-built window directly — the separate
forecast fetch and gap-merge are gone. The target is looked up by date for
the comparison cards (the newest row is now a forecast day), and the graded
table opens centered on the target column.
* Weekly view: extend the after-target window to 14 days
Bump the daily-graded window's after-target span from 7 to 14 days. A target
far enough in the past now shows 14 observed days after it; a recent target
shows its observed days plus the 1-7 available forecast days, and the forecast
naturally caps at ~7 days out. The after cap stays at 14.
* Picker map: smaller city labels, darker/bolder roads (split tile layers)
Split the CARTO Voyager basemap into two raster layers so label size and road
weight are independent: a labels-free base upscaled via tileSize 512 + zoomOffset
-1 (bold, prominent roads) plus a labels-only layer at natural size on top (small,
crisp city names). The darken/saturate filter now targets the base layer only
(.mp-base: brightness .92, contrast 1.12), deepening the roads while leaving label
text at full contrast.

* Location label: show coordinates immediately, then resolve to place name
On selecting a location, write the raw coordinates to the location label right
away, so the user sees the picked spot instantly instead of a stale/blank label.
The existing post-fetch render already overwrites it with the reverse-geocoded
"neighborhood, city, region" string (data.place), so the label now reads
coords → place name live.
- app.js / calendar.js / day.js: set coords in the selection handler before the
fetch; the render/initOnce overwrite is unchanged.
- compare.js: show coordinates through the pending + loading states (instead of
"Locating…") so each chip's coords are replaced live by the place name once
scored.

Follow-up to the picker restyle: use the colorful CARTO "Voyager" basemap in
both themes (the monochrome dark-matter tiles read as "no color"), render tiles
one zoom lower at 512px (tileSize 512 + zoomOffset -1, @2x for crispness) so
roads and city labels are noticeably larger, and add a saturate/contrast filter
on the tile pane to push the colors further.

A shared units module in nav.js holds the active unit (persisted), converts
Fahrenheit API values for display, and notifies pages to repaint on a switch.
A segmented °F/°C control is injected into the top-right of every header
(left of the view tabs); Weekly, Day and Calendar convert every temperature —
cards, dense timeline, trend chart axis/labels, tooltips and the PNG export —
while wind, humidity and precip stay as-is. Compare keeps its Fahrenheit
comfort slider, so the toggle is hidden there.

Replace the clinical blue→green→red diverging temperature scale, the
green→navy rain ramp, and the orange accent with a warmer, more vibrant
"Orchid Sunset" palette: violet/lavender cool end, soft blush middle,
rose/magenta warm end, hot-pink accent.
Keeps the diverging structure grading relies on (cool reads cold, warm
reads hot) and updates every mirror of the literals so PNG export and the
self-contained subpages stay in sync:
- style.css :root tier + precip vars, accent, cta-cal gradient/shadows,
dry-metric toggle; light-theme overrides for the near-white middle tiers
so "Normal" stays legible on white
- app.js TIER_COLORS, chartPalette() fallbacks, dry-streak ramp
- calendar.js TIER_COLORS, PRECIP_COLORS, dry-streak ramp
- day.js TIER_COLORS, PRECIP_COLORS, DRY_COLOR

Move each metric card's grade status into the top-right corner and put the
median on its own 'normal: <value>' line under the big number. Bold the
coordinates, climatology year range and sample-size count in the location
head, and label the sample line 'N days sample size (day ±7)'.
Calendar: drop the tagline and use a compact, roughly half-height header.
The Weekly location card joined coordinates, cell size, climatology range
and sample count into one dot-separated meta line. Stack them as one fact
per line so the important context reads top-down instead of as a run of
tags. Drop the '~N sq mi cell' wording from the Weekly/Day/Calendar meta
lines and the map hint.
The whole comparison — locations, comfort target, band, judged temperature
and date range — is now encoded in the URL hash (c/t/b/s/e/loc) and read
back on load, so a link reproduces exactly what's on screen. Comfort, band
and judged-temperature edits still re-rank instantly and update the hash
without a fetch.
Editing the date range or the location set no longer refetches on its own:
it marks the comparison dirty and reveals a single "Refresh comparison"
button next to Add location; the load runs only when it's tapped. Pending
locations show a dashed chip until then. The initial view (from a shared
link, the saved set, or the last-viewed spot) still loads on arrival.
Compare page (frontend/compare.{html,js} + /thermograph/compare route):
line up several places over a date range and rank which best matches a
comfort temperature. Per location it pulls the same daily record the
Calendar uses and, per day, takes a chosen temperature (daytime high /
daily mean / overnight low / feels-like) against the comfort target. A
day "hits comfort" when it lands within an adjustable band; otherwise it
counts as colder or warmer and the average miss is tracked. Results are
ranked by comfort-day share (tie-broken by the smaller typical miss),
with a diverging below/comfort/above bar and per-bucket stats. Comfort,
band and judged temperature re-rank instantly client-side; only the
location set or date range trigger a data load (shared calendar cache).
Feels calendar filter: drop the comfort-temperature slider and the
client-side felt-high/felt-low re-pick. The Feels metric now colors by
the server's combined feels-like value like the other metrics, so its
tab matches the rest of the metric selector.
Caption every category column with its name (two reserved lines so the
value figures stay aligned whether a name wraps or not), and add a
"Show count" checkbox in the strip header that swaps every share figure
for the raw day count (state persists in localStorage, re-renders in
place via a delegated listener on #cal-totals).
Also plot the neutral "Normal" median category as a real bar instead of
a bare baseline tick, so the strip reads as a full distribution; bar
heights now scale to the tallest category (Normal included).

Widen the per-category deviation bars (3px→10px) so each reads
clearly, and print sub-1% shares as e.g. "0.4%" instead of "<1%".

Replace the stacked share bar + labeled percentage chips above the
calendar grid with a compact deviation strip: one thin status-colored
line per category (height scaled to the tallest non-median category),
with each share printed above it in that category's own status color.
The median tier — the neutral "Normal" center of the diverging
temperature scale — draws no line, just a faint baseline tick, so it
reads as the reference the other categories deviate from. Precip and
dry-streak have no natural median, so every category there keeps a line.
Percentage text is lifted toward the theme text color (color-mix) so
even the darkest/lightest tiers stay legible in both light and dark.
