Hi,

thanks for getting in touch.

I also wanted to reach out to you since I pretty much have the same time issue.

I have been playing around with bits and bobs but nothing really presentable.

So going slow is okay for me right now :)

Best,
-Michael

Hi,

this is looking awesome.

Just a quick question that was raised: Will the menu sliding in and out be the
default or is this the "mobile" version where it slides away for space reasons?

Best,
-Michael

Hi,

the fireinfo design is great. I find it a very good solution with the releases
to not present this as a too long list that is difficult to comprehend but
instead having something really easy and nice-to-look-at doughnut chart.

I am not too sure about the background image on the web user interface though.
It makes it a little bit harder for me to pay attention to the foreground
things. I also like the white background for the charts better.

This is my most favourite one:

  https://projects.invisionapp.com/boards/R51OE9AUMV8EP/#/2817838/89369994

and this is a very close second:

  https://projects.invisionapp.com/boards/R51OE9AUMV8EP/#/2817838/89373574

Best,
-Michael
