- Climate hub (/climate) now uses native <details> per country — collapsible
expand/shrink sections with a city count and a rotating marker (top 3 countries
open by default). Links stay in the DOM, so crawling/SEO is unaffected.
- Fix nested F/C parentheses in the city lede (e.g. 'July (71°F (22°C) average
high)') by rephrasing so the already-parenthesized temperature isn't wrapped in
another paren.
- Fix the 5-column records table overlapping on mobile: give it a min-width so it
scrolls inside .table-wrap on narrow screens instead of colliding.
Auto-sourcing a notable weather event from Wikipedia search proved unreliable
(wrong matches, low coverage), so city_events.py is a small, fact-checked list of
one iconic event per city (Katrina/New Orleans, Harvey/Houston, the 1952 Great
Smog/London, the 2021 heat dome/Seattle, ...) — 31 cities, each with a Wikipedia
link. The city page shows a 'Notable weather in {city}' callout when one exists and
otherwise just the flavor blurb. Tests check the curated slugs are all valid and the
callout renders (and is absent for uncurated cities).
Add unique editorial content so the programmatic pages don't read as templated:
- gen_flavor.py seeds backend/cities_flavor.json with a short descriptive blurb per
city from Wikipedia's free REST summary API (no key), validating each match by
comparing article coordinates to the city's lat/lon so the wrong 'Springfield'
never attaches. Retries + modest concurrency; ~700/750 cities get a blurb, the
rest render without one. Text is CC BY-SA, attributed with a 'via Wikipedia' link.
- City pages show the blurb under the intro and a travel callout that deep-links to
the compare page with the city pre-loaded (/compare#loc=lat,lon) — the visitor
just adds their own city. Month pages get the same seasonal 'visiting in {month}?'
compare link. Both add unique per-page text and internal links.
- cities.py gains flavor(slug); tests cover the blurb + attribution + compare CTA.
* SEO: generate curated city set for crawlable climate pages
gen_cities.py reuses the GeoNames index places.py already parses to select the top
~500 metros by population, assigns each a stable URL-safe slug (dropping admin1 when
it repeats the city name), and writes committed backend/cities.json. cities.py loads
it lazily with slug lookup, all_slugs(), display_name(), and by_country() grouping
for the upcoming hub + sitemap.
* SEO: rendering core, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and metadata hygiene
- content.py: Jinja2 environment + HTML responder (ETag/304), dynamic /robots.txt
(disallows /api and /alerts, points at the sitemap) and /sitemap.xml (enumerates
the home/static pages plus every city, month, and records URL from cities.py).
Registered on the app before the StaticFiles mount so the routes win.
- templates/base.html.j2: shared layout with unique title/description, self-
referential canonical, Open Graph, favicon/manifest, header nav (adds a Climate
link) and a footer link graph.
- Give each existing page a unique <meta description> (were 5x identical) and a
self-referential <link rel=canonical>; add WebApplication JSON-LD to the home page.
- Pin jinja2.
* SEO: server-rendered per-city climate page (/climate/{slug})
The keystone crawlable page: for a city it snaps to the grid cell, loads the
archive (fetching once if missing, self-healing), and renders as real HTML — a
'how today compares' block (grade + percentile per metric from grade_day, tinted
by tier), a monthly normals table (climatology at each month's 15th, shown in °F
and °C), all-time records (new grading.all_time_records helper), a breadcrumb,
Dataset+Place+BreadcrumbList JSON-LD, self-referential canonical, and links into
the interactive tool + month/records pages. Content-page CSS added to style.css
(renamed the table class to avoid colliding with the app's .normals flex row).
* SEO: month (/climate/{slug}/{month}) and records (/climate/{slug}/records) pages
Month pages render the exact-month long-tail ('average weather in {city} in
{month}') with that month's average high/low, typical p10-p90 range, month-specific
records, and prev/next month links. Records pages show all-time record highs/lows
per metric with dates (grading.all_time_records). Shared _resolve_city helper; the
literal /records route is registered before the {month} param and month names are
validated (unknown month -> 404).
* SEO: climate hub, weather glossary, and about/methodology pages
- /climate: crawlable directory of all ~500 cities grouped by country — the
internal-link graph that lets search engines discover every city page.
- /glossary + /glossary/{term}: plain-language definitions (climate normal,
percentile, temperature anomaly, feels-like, heat index, wind chill, humidity,
reanalysis) with DefinedTerm JSON-LD and cross-links into the tool.
- /about: methodology page (ERA5 data source, 45-year baseline, +/-7-day window,
percentile grading) for E-E-A-T. All linked from the shared footer.
* SEO: archive warmer, content-page tests, and deploy docs
- warm_cities.py: paced, idempotent offline warmer that pre-fetches each city
cell's archive so /climate pages serve from cache and a crawl can't burst the
archive quota (pages self-heal if hit before warming).
- tests/test_content.py: city-set slug uniqueness/lookup, robots.txt, sitemap
enumerating city/month/records URLs, and that a rendered city page carries the
stats + canonical + Dataset JSON-LD in the HTML; plus month/records/hub/glossary/
about routing and 404s.
- DEPLOY.md: document the content pages, the warm step, and submitting the sitemap.
Make the app installable and deliver existing alert notifications as OS
push, alongside the in-app bell.
Backend:
- PushSubscription model (per-device endpoint + keys, owned by a user) and
register/unregister/test endpoints under /api/v2/push, cookie-auth scoped
to the user like the subscription routes.
- push.py: VAPID key management (env -> data/vapid.json -> generated) and a
pywebpush send helper that reports gone endpoints for pruning. No DB coupling.
- notify.py: after creating an in-app Notification, dispatch Web Push to the
user's devices (guarded — a push failure never affects the in-app write;
endpoints reported gone are pruned).
- Serve the .webmanifest with the correct media type.
Frontend:
- manifest.webmanifest + 192/maskable icons; <link rel="manifest"> on all pages.
- sw.js: push + notificationclick handlers (push-only; no fetch caching, so it
doesn't fight the existing IndexedDB cache). Registered globally in nav.js in
secure contexts.
- push-client.js + a "Notifications on this device" toggle and test-send on the
/alerts page, subscribing through the existing cookie-aware apiFetch.
Push and service workers require a secure context, so this is active over HTTPS
(or http://localhost) and cleanly no-ops on a plain-HTTP LAN origin.
The notification dropdown is anchored to the bell button, which on mobile sits
left of the account button rather than at the screen edge, so the wide panel
overflowed off the left of the viewport (title/text cut off). On narrow screens,
drop .notif's positioning context so the dropdown anchors to the .acct cluster at
the header's right edge, keeping it fully on-screen.
Also add route-level tests for the accounts feature (auth flow, subscription CRUD,
duplicate/validation, ownership 404s, notifications), plus a
THERMOGRAPH_ACCOUNTS_DB override so the suite writes to a throwaway DB and stays
hermetic.
* Add account system foundation: email/password auth with cookie sessions
Introduce the app's first authoritative, user-owned data in a separate
data/accounts.sqlite (SQLAlchemy), kept apart from the disposable derived-cache
DB. Wire fastapi-users for email/password signup, cookie-based login/logout, and
a session-check endpoint, backed by a database session strategy so logins survive
restarts and are revocable.
- db.py: async (aiosqlite) + sync SQLAlchemy engines over accounts.sqlite, WAL +
foreign keys, create_db_and_tables().
- models.py: User, AccessToken, Subscription, Notification tables.
- users.py: pwdlib hashing, HttpOnly cookie transport (path-scoped, SameSite=Lax,
Secure via env), DatabaseStrategy sessions, current-user dependencies.
- schemas.py: user + subscription + notification Pydantic models.
- app.py: mount auth/register/users routers on v2, create tables at startup.
- Pin fastapi-users[sqlalchemy]/aiosqlite; ignore data/accounts.sqlite*.
* Add account header entry and auth modal (frontend)
account.js self-injects a header entry (following the units.js pattern) that
shows a Sign in button when logged out and an account menu when logged in, plus
an auth modal reusing the existing .mp-overlay/.mp-modal chrome for email/password
sign-in and account creation. A shared apiFetch helper sends the same-origin
cookie for authed calls; exported getUser/openAuth/onAuthChange back later phases.
Imported by every page entry module. On narrow screens the entry collapses to an
icon-only button so it doesn't crowd the title.
Enforce an 8-character minimum password in the user manager.
* Add subscription CRUD API and the alerts management page
Backend api_accounts.py adds user-scoped, cookie-authenticated endpoints to
create/list/update/delete subscriptions (and the notification reads used next):
POST snaps lat/lon to a grid cell, resolves a label, and rejects a duplicate
location+kind with 409; PATCH/DELETE are ownership-checked (404 on mismatch).
Mounted on the v2 prefix.
Frontend subscriptions.js + subscriptions.html serve the /alerts page: a sign-in
gate when logged out, an add flow that reuses the shared map picker and an editor
modal (kind, watched metrics, 95-99 percentile, two-sided), and a card list with
inline threshold/active edits and remove. Reachable from the account menu.
* Add background subscription evaluation engine
notify.py runs a daemon thread that periodically evaluates every active
subscription: it groups them by grid cell, reads history from the parquet cache
only (never spends archive quota) plus the hourly recent/forecast bundle, and
grades candidate days with the existing grading.grade_day. A watched metric that
lands at or beyond the threshold percentile fires a 'high' alert; a two-sided
subscription also fires 'low' for the symmetric cold/calm/dry tail (precip stays
one-directional). Observed subscriptions look at the last few recorded days,
forecast subscriptions at the coming week.
Two guards keep it quiet: a UNIQUE(subscription, event_date, metric, direction,
kind) constraint dedups repeat events, and a per-subscription weekly cap
(last_notified_at) limits each alert to one notification per 7 days. The loop
tolerates a bad cell or an upstream rate limit without aborting the pass. Started
and stopped from the app lifespan; gated by THERMOGRAPH_ENABLE_NOTIFIER.
* Add in-app notification center (header bell)
Extend account.js with a notification bell beside the account menu: an unread
badge, a dropdown listing recent notifications (title, body, relative time), a
per-item mark-read on click, and a Mark all read action, all through the
cookie-authed notifications API. Unread state refreshes on open and polls every
two minutes while signed in; polling stops on sign-out. Styled to match the app,
responsive down to mobile.
* Harden accounts: expired-session cleanup, engine tests, ops docs
- notify.py sweeps expired login sessions (access tokens past their lifetime)
once per evaluation pass.
- Add hermetic unit tests for the evaluation engine's trigger detection (high/low
tails, precip one-directional, normal = no trigger) and notification wording.
- Document accounts.sqlite (authoritative, back it up), the single-worker
requirement for the in-process evaluator, and the new env vars in DEPLOY.md.
The distribution-bar key de-collides labels by sweeping each one right to
clear its neighbour, which collapsed a row toward the right edge whenever an
early bucket was tiny — Cool/Comfortable slid far from their large segments
instead of sitting under them. Replace the sweep with standard 1-D label
placement: keep each label at its segment midpoint, merge only labels that
actually overlap into a block, and position each block at the least-squares
mean of its members' ideals. Isolated labels no longer move; clusters centre
on their segments instead of sliding to an edge. The run is clamped inside
the bar, and mobile keeps its plain wrapping row.
* Distribution bars: split the in-bar range into Max/Min rows
The min–max range inside each distribution bar packed onto one line
(e.g. -20–-16°), where the range dash collides with the minus signs and
becomes unreadable for negative temperatures. Split it into two labelled
rows — Max on top, Min below — so each value stands alone. The per-tier
average above each bar is unchanged.
Shared by the Compare distribution and the Calendar totals strip. Bump
the bar-height floor 26→30px so the two-line label never clips.
* Compare: nudge overlapping distribution-bar labels apart on desktop
The desktop key positioned each bucket label at its segment's midpoint, so
two small adjacent buckets (e.g. Warm 1% next to Too hot 2%) rendered their
labels on top of each other. Add a post-layout pass that measures each label
and sweeps the row — push right to clear the previous label, clamp the tail
to the bar's right edge, then pull left — so no two overlap while each stays
as close to its segment as the space allows. Re-runs on resize; mobile keeps
its plain wrapping row.
The min–max range inside each distribution bar packed onto one line
(e.g. -20–-16°), where the range dash collides with the minus signs and
becomes unreadable for negative temperatures. Split it into two labelled
rows — Max on top, Min below — so each value stands alone. The per-tier
average above each bar is unchanged.
Shared by the Compare distribution and the Calendar totals strip. Bump
the bar-height floor 26→30px so the two-line label never clips.
- Compare: move the "Judge each day by its" basis toggle out of the filter sheet into
the inline comfort card above the results (a scoring control, like the comfort
slider). Handler is id-based, so no JS change for the move.
- Metric selector is duplicated, not relocated: revert the sheetOnly relocation in
filtersheet.js; keep the inline selector visible on all viewports and add a synced
copy inside each page's filter sheet (mobile-only via CSS). The sheet copy clones the
inline buttons; a single setter (setDistMetric / setColorMetric) drives the shared
state and reflects the active metric on both, so picking any of the 8 metrics in
either selector syncs the other and re-renders. Applies to compare's "Distribution
by" and calendar's "Color the calendar by".
Frontend-only; no backend or payload change.
- Season filter: add a "Full year" select-all row above the four seasons (checked at
12 months, clears to none, indeterminate when partial). One shared change in
seasonFilterDropdown/applySeasonMonthChange/syncSeasonChecks covers both pages; the
summary already reads "All year" at 12.
- Metric selector rides the filter sheet on phones: initFilterSheet gains a sheetOnly
option that relocates given controls into the sheet at the 640px breakpoint and
restores them inline on desktop (matchMedia; reparenting keeps listeners). Compare
passes its "Distribution by" control, calendar its "Color the calendar by" block.
- Compare comfort/tolerance slider moved out of the params panel into a standalone
full-width card above the results, so it's always visible instead of buried in the
mobile pill sheet. The params sheet now holds basis + season + date range.
Frontend-only; no backend or payload change.
- Fix the mobile width blow-out: the distribution grid item (.cmp-dist-row) had no
min-width:0, so each row expanded to the 9–10-column connected bar chart's
min-content and widened the whole page (zoom-out, clipped filter sheet). Add
grid-template-columns: minmax(0,1fr) + min-width:0 so the strip scrolls inside its
own .ct-strip, and tighten .ct-col to 34px on phones.
- Add a Load/Refresh button inside the compare filter sheet's date-range block, wired
to the same refresh()/isDirty(); editing the range on mobile no longer needs the
sheet closed. The existing button stays in the controls (loads added places).
- Default date range on both pages is now January six years back → the present. On
the calendar this is an explicit chunked range (the months=24 path is server-capped
at ~2yr).
- Names now include country: reverse_geocode appends it to the place label; revgeo
cache key gets a v2 prefix and PAYLOAD_VER bumps to p2 so labels/payloads
repopulate.
- Location names read as a hierarchy: compact chips show just the lead segment (full
name in the title/aria), and each ranked card shows the lead segment bold over a
muted "city · region · country" line.
Frontend + a small backend name/cache change; no schema migration.
Compare gains a time-of-year filter it never had; the calendar's flat 4-season
filter is upgraded to the same model so both pages filter time identically.
- Shared season/month model in shared.js: seasons are the primary, color-coded
selector, the 12 months a nested suboption, backed by one Set of month indices.
seasonFilterDropdown/syncSeasonChecks/applySeasonMonthChange/seasonSummaryText
plus month<->bitmask helpers, reused by both pages.
- Compare: filter gates r.date's month into computeStats and the distribution;
instant re-rank, no refetch. Persisted (cmpMonths bitmask) and carried in the
URL hash (m=, omitted when all 12). Empty-selection hint when a filter excludes
every day.
- Calendar: checkedSeasons -> checkedMonths, applied in the render loop; persisted
as calMonths. Season checkbox is checked/indeterminate by how many of its months
are on.
- Mobile filter sheet (filtersheet.js): a subtle floating pill slides the page's
filter panel up as a bottom sheet, reachable from anywhere on the page, on both
compare and calendar. Desktop keeps the inline panel unchanged. Respects
reduced-motion and the home-indicator inset.
Frontend-only; no backend or payload change.
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.
Following the per-group bar heights, the percentage labels now match: a
multi-bar group (rain intensities on precip, streak lengths on dry streak)
shows each bar's share within that group, so its bars read as a distribution.
The lone opposing column (Dry on precip, Rain day on dry streak) keeps its
share of all shown days, which stays meaningful rather than trivially 100%.
In the calendar category strip, precip (Dry + rain intensity) and dry-streak
(Rain day + dry buckets) mix wet and dry categories. Heights scaled to the
single tallest bucket across both, so a dominant dry-day count flattened the
rain-intensity bars to ~2px and vice versa, hiding the opposing distribution.
Give each bucket a scale group (wet/dry) and size bars to the tallest bucket
within their own group. Temperature tiers share one group, so they scale
together as before.
compare.js never imported units.js, so the header unit toggle was never
built on the compare page and every temperature was stuck in °F. Import
units.js (which builds the toggle) and route the comfort target, comfort
band, and the colder/warmer/typical-miss figures through the unit
formatters, re-rendering on unit change. State stays in °F (the API's
unit); only the displayed numbers convert.
Add fmtDelta for degree *differences* (band, average miss), which scale
by 5/9 without the 32° offset that absolute temperatures use.
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.
cache.js contained a JavaScript clone of backend/grid.py's snapping math
(its own comment said so) to compute the 8 surrounding cells and fire 8
staggered prefetch requests — grid geometry had two homes, one per
language, plus a client-side guess at Nominatim pacing.
The server now owns it: grid.neighbors(cell) steps one cell width from
the center and re-snaps (adjacent rows have different longitude steps;
poles and the antimeridian handled by snap), and /api/v2/cell grew a
neighbors=1 flag that enqueues those cells for a single background
worker. The warm-only guarantee matches prefetch=1 — a cell with no
cached archive is skipped, so no weather-API quota is ever spent — and
reverse_geocode's own lock paces the at-most-one Nominatim call per
never-labeled cell. Re-enqueues are TTL-deduped; the worker starts from
the lifespan hook, so tests and offline importers never spawn it.
The client now sends its one conditional bundle request with
neighbors=1 (a warm spot costs an empty 304) instead of skipping the
bundle and firing 8 extra requests; the grid-math clone and the
now-unused hasFreshCache are deleted.
Tests (114): grid.neighbors mid-latitude/pole/antimeridian, the
neighbors=1 enqueue + TTL dedupe, _warm_cell materializing the
history-derived store rows, and the never-fetch-upstream guarantee.
Verified with the headless-Chromium smoke across all five pages.
- 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).
app.js carried the whole SVG chart implementation (~380 lines: palette,
percentile fans, the shared line-series renderer, per-metric wrappers,
pointer hover) alongside its page logic. That moves to chart.js: the
drawing dimensions live there as live-bound module state behind
setChartWidth(); attachChartHover takes the day list as a parameter
instead of reaching into page globals. app.js keeps buildChart and the
PNG export — page orchestration — and drops to ~500 lines. Any page can
now plot a metric series (e.g. a history sparkline on the day page).
calendar.js's hand-rolled streaming loader — bounded-parallel pool,
token cancellation, stale-while-revalidate re-merge — becomes
cache.js chunkedFetch(urls, {ttl, concurrency, isCurrent, onResult});
fetchCalendar keeps only its intent (chunk URLs, day merge, contiguous-
prefix rendering). Same pool semantics, verbatim.
Verified: node --check; 108 backend tests; headless-Chromium smoke on
all five pages against live data (chart renders + metric toggle,
calendar grid streams + metric switch, ladders, compare, legend).
The frontend was classic scripts sharing one global scope, with a
load-order contract enforced only by comments (leaflet -> nav ->
shared -> mappicker -> page) and hand-rolled window.Thermograph /
window.LocationPicker namespaces. Page scripts now import what they use;
the dependency graph replaces the ordering contract, and no app globals
remain (Leaflet stays a classic script / global L, loaded first).
nav.js had grown four concerns; it's now three single-purpose modules:
- nav.js: last-location memory + header view-links + locHash.
- units.js: the °F/°C toggle and unit-aware formatting. The compare
special case is gone — pages that want the toggle import units.js;
compare simply doesn't.
- cache.js: the IndexedDB response cache, SWR getJSON, bundle-seeded
view prefetch and neighbor warming. prefetchViews(lat, lon, ownViews)
now takes the calling page's own view names instead of a page-identity
map (VIEW_OWN) — adding a page no longer means editing this module.
The slice->URL map stays here as bundle-contract knowledge.
frontend/package.json ({"type": "module"}) makes CI's node --check
parse the files as modules.
Verified: node --check on all files as modules; 108 backend tests;
headless-Chromium smoke across all five pages against live data — zero
console/page errors, all render assertions pass (cards, chart, calendar
grid + metric switch, ladders, compare ranking, legend scales).
The page scripts each re-declared the shared presentation layer — the tier
color table existed in four places (app.js, calendar.js, day.js, style.css)
and the scale label tables in three (plus legend.html's own drifting copy),
alongside per-page copies of the dryness ramp, formatters, ord, todayISO,
esc, the weather icons/summary, month helpers and the 2-year range chunker.
~240 duplicated lines deleted (net -236 with the new module included).
- frontend/shared.js (IIFE, extends window.Thermograph): tier colors read
from style.css's :root custom properties at load — the CSS is now the
single source of truth; the JS map exists only because inline-SVG work
(chart + PNG export) needs literal values, with hex fallbacks for a
missing stylesheet. Plus SCALE_TEMP/SCALE_RAIN, drynessColor, fmt*, ord,
todayISO, esc, placeLabel, month/chunk date helpers, clickOpensPicker,
and the weatherType summary (dsr-aware; the day page just omits dsr).
- nav.js: wrapped in an IIFE — its ~15 top-level functions were globals in
the shared classic-script scope, and a leaked locHash collided with page
destructuring (caught by the browser smoke, not by node --check).
locHash is now exported and used by all 8 former hand-built hash sites.
- mappicker.js: initFindButton/setFindLabel replace the Find-button block
each page rebuilt.
- legend.html renders its scales from the shared tables, so the guide can
no longer drift from what the app shows.
Verified: node --check on all JS; 108 backend tests; headless-Chromium
smoke over all five pages against live data — no console/page errors,
legend rows 9/9, weekly 7 cards + colored chart/key/table + metric toggle,
calendar grid + key + metric switch, day 7 ladders + weather icon,
compare seeded rank card.
- /api/v2/place still called grid.in_north_america(), which the worldwide-
coverage change removed — every request raised AttributeError (500). The
failure was invisible because compare.js treats the call as best-effort,
so the instant chip-naming feature was silently dead. Drop the dead guard;
the lat/lon Query validators already bound the inputs.
- /api/v2/day was the only data route not wrapping get_history in
_weather_fetch_error, so a rate-limited cold cell returned a raw 500
instead of the clean 503 the other routes emit.
- calendar: the #calendar pointerleave handler was re-registered inside
attachHover on every render — and the comfort slider re-renders per input
tick, stacking dozens of copies. Register it once at module scope next to
the matching document-level dismiss handler.
- getJSON: check res.ok before parsing the body as JSON and fall back to the
status line, so a non-JSON error body (a proxy 502 HTML page) reads as
"Request failed (502 Bad Gateway)" instead of a JSON parse error.
- 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.
Sharing a Thermograph URL (Discord, Slack, iMessage…) now unfurls into a
card with the site name, page title, description, accent color, and logo.
- All five pages get description/theme-color/og:*/twitter:card meta and a
favicon. og:url/og:image need absolute URLs and crawlers don't run JS, so
pages carry an __ORIGIN__ placeholder the server fills in per request from
X-Forwarded-Proto (Caddy) / scheme + the Host header + base path — correct
on both the LAN dev server and the prod domain without hardcoding either.
- New logo assets: the header's ▚ mark as an app icon (accent quadrants on
the dark surface) — logo.png (512x512, the og:image) and logo.svg (favicon).
- Page routes render the substitution with a weak ETag + 304 revalidation
(replacing plain FileResponse) and now answer HEAD, which preview crawlers
probe with (previously 404).
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).
Remove the US+Canada bounding box so every endpoint accepts any lat/lon.
The grading pipeline was already global-ready (ERA5 archive, timezone=auto,
day-of-year climatology), so opening it up is mostly deleting the guard —
plus the edge cases that only exist once the whole globe is in play:
- grid.py: snap() wraps longitude into [-180, 180) and clamps latitude, and
cell centers are normalized so the polar row and the cells straddling the
antimeridian always report valid coordinates to the weather/geocoding APIs.
snap() and from_id() now share one _cell() builder, making id round-trips
exact by construction (verified with a 300k-point global sweep).
- nav.js: neighbor-cell prefetch skips rows past the poles and wraps
longitudes across the dateline instead of sending out-of-range queries.
- Nominatim reverse geocoding requests accept-language=en so place labels
render in one script worldwide (matching the forward geocoder).
- mappicker: search suggestions are no longer filtered to US/CA, the
placeholder and default map view are worldwide.
- calendar: season filter labels flip for southern-hemisphere locations
(Dec-Feb shows as Summer); the underlying month groups are unchanged, so
saved filter selections keep meaning the same months.
Verified end-to-end on a scratch server: Tokyo and Sydney grade with real
labels, a Fiji cell on the antimeridian's east edge builds and serves warm
hits from the derived store, and prefetch=1 on a cold cell still answers
204 without spending weather-API quota.
* 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.
Add a lightweight GET /api/v2/place?lat=&lon= endpoint that snaps to the grid
cell and returns the reverse-geocoded "neighborhood, city, region" label (the
same string the view endpoints expose as place, cached + throttled). On the
compare page, adding a location now fires this right away so the chip flips from
coordinates to the place name immediately — instead of only resolving when the
full comparison loads on Refresh. Best-effort: the series load still resolves the
name, so a failed/again call is harmless.

Compare was the only page loading several cells at once, so its concurrent
reverse-geocode calls burst past Nominatim's ~1 req/sec limit, got rate-limited,
and cached a null label — leaving those locations stuck on bare coordinates.
- climate.py: serialize + rate-limit reverse_geocode behind a lock (>=1.1s between
Nominatim calls, re-checking the cache under the lock), so concurrent callers
resolve reliably instead of bursting.
- store.py: shorten the reverse-geocode miss TTL 1 day -> 1 hour so a transient
null retries soon; add a `cache` flag to put_payload.
- app.py: don't persist a calendar payload whose place failed to resolve, so the
coordinates fallback can't stick for the life of the token.
Weekly showed the place name twice (top label beside the Find button AND the
results <h2>). Keep the <h2> (it carries the coords + climatology context) as the
single name display; the top label now only holds the transient coordinates
written on selection and is hidden once the named results render.

* 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.

* Revert "Merge pull request #22 from griffemi/fem-orchid-palette"
This reverts commit f7d16238f2, reversing
changes made to 34e4fed1f0.
* Restyle location-picker map: themed CARTO basemap + branded pin
Replace the plain gray OpenStreetMap raster in the location picker with a
theme-aware CARTO basemap (no API key): sleek "dark matter" tiles under the
dark theme, colorful "voyager" tiles under the light theme, so the map
matches whichever is active. Swap Leaflet's default blue marker for an
accent-colored teardrop pin (the same glyph the Find button uses), and theme
the zoom controls + attribution to sit in the app's surfaces.
- mappicker.js: theme-aware CARTO tileLayer (retina, CARTO attribution);
L.divIcon "mp-pin" used for the marker
- style.css: .mp-pin styling, themed .leaflet-bar / attribution, map shadow
