Hi Andrew,
We’ve now fixed the authentication issue. Please try again.

Site is limited to just two widgets, with nothing in the way of anything around them. Also, you really need to have a super widescreen monitor to see the page like it’s meant to be seen.
That said, the map is super-shiny, with lots of detail. And the graphs are really detailed.
So 4/5 from me for awesome map generation skills, just could have been a bit more friendly to people with giant screens.
I encountered some small layout differences with Safari. On the other side, it’s all good with this app and concept.
The picture of Australia during a heatwave today is awesome – totally red! I noticed some blue arrows around Sydney and sure enough 5 minutes later a cool change is coming through to prove it’s real time. Definitely one to bookmark. Works fine on chrome but zooming out it hung, but fine when restarted.
