That's super cool and I love the UI and look of it!

These are only very minor nit-picky things, whilst exploring on desktop mode, that I hope can be helpful.

- When I click on eg. the moon. It it goes to full page, I only found ESC to go out, maybe add a few more options to go back to the dashboard view, such as clicking on top bar title "Lumara", or a top right X that hides away if no mouse movement.

- When I click one of the corona buttons, the image box itself lights up with what I assume is a dynamic colour selection function. This is cool, but I think the boxy outline breaks the immersion slightly, I would just keep it no glow.

- I would also but the buttons to Apple Store and Play Store maybe in the bottom left under the control panel, so that the imagery really shines with minimal distraction. Or maybe leave it to appear only towards the end of scroll (As is already there).

- Lastly the top left Circle is not aligned with the bottom left.

Again these are only suggestions of minor things! I really do think it looks great and good job!

Sounds like a cool project!

I saw that available in app store button, and hoped that it would be available as an AppleTV app. That would pretty much have done what I was attempting. Allow the user to control which filter and then select full screen of that one image. The thing I was working on was going to keep the timelapse loop to one full solar day for a full rotation. Including the moon and the live feed is a nice upgrade. I'd download this…

Just you wanting it is enough for me to make it!

Honestly considering it now — Flutter doesn't have tvOS support yet, so it'd be a SwiftUI rewrite. But the core ports cleanly. I want to do it now!

Beautiful app! AppStore is working now! The solar imagery and overall UI are really clean; easy to use. It would be nice to see CME tracking added. Also, Stefan Burns would be a great person to share this with - his audience loves space weather content.

Thank you for the feedback and I'll look for Stefan Burns!

I appreciate your feedback and will be rolling in some of these suggestions into the next update today! :D

A neat dashboard. The usage of metric units can be improved: > Corona ~1.2M K / Active Regions ~2M K / Hot Flares ~6.3M K / Flare Plasma ~10M K / Active Corona ~2.5M K / 10M K Hottest flare plasma If "M" means "million", then it's correct but not the best way to express things. If "M" means "mega", then there must be a space after the number and no space before the unit of kelvin - it needs to be written as "1.2 MK"…

Just about everything should be updated now, thanks again!

I see the changes now - just incredible! You are probably the most responsive author I have ever interacted with in decades.
