Is there a reliable source for tide tables in harbours the national feed skips?
Tried three map styles. The plain one wins; the fancy ones fight the tide lines.
Spent the evening on the offline cache. If the boat has no signal, the app still has today.
Wrote the parser. It reads the feed in 40ms and I trust it about as far as I can throw it.
Pulled the tide tables from the public feed. The timestamps are in local harbour time, which means every town is its own timezone problem.
Sketched the first screen on paper: a list of harbours and the next three tides for each.
Made the numbers bigger.
First person who is not me used it on a real boat. They wanted bigger numbers.
Fixed the daylight-saving bug that moved every tide by an hour twice a year.
Small one: the list now remembers which harbour you opened last.

Rewrote the sync so it batches. Battery use is down by about a third on my phone.

Shelving this. The quiet motor costs more than the whole idea is worth to me right now. The log stays.

Drilled the face. The tide hand works but the motor is loud.

Ordered the clock movement and a blank face.
