Feedback on a nationwide wildfires tracker site?
We are improving AreaHub’s wildfires web app (wildfires.areahub.com) to track fires across the nation and find active wildfires near you.
The web app, Wildfires by AreaHub, features a nationwide interactive map with fire and air quality information, as well as local reports with nearby active fires, personnel assigned to large fires, and containment status, as reported by responding teams.
What improvements or new features would you like to see on a newer version of this wildfires portal? I would really appreciate any feedback from fellow indie hackers before undertaking any changes and updates to the site.
Hello @Rajinwonderland.
I really like the overall design, and the fact that you got the search bar right when you land in the page. The autocomplete feature is also very good.
One thing that can be improved is to use more spacing at the end of the page. See this screenshot https://share.cleanshot.com/bmhiO8. The last three sections are very cluttered. Maybe adding more padding/margin to them will make them breathe more.
Also, there might be a bit of inconsistency in the call-to-action buttons on the page. I can see four different styles: the red, the blue, the outlined blue, and the small red in the footer.
I'd advise sticking to two main styles, one default and one outlined.
That's all I've noticed.
These are more visual changes, and not features to add, but I hope it will help.
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback - these are great points. We'll definitely be incorporating these suggestions!
honstly, this is pretty darn solid. congrats on the design.
Thanks for checking it out!
