This is a list of bugs and issues I am aware of, with work around where appropriate. If you find something that doesn't seem right, or you find irritating, that isn't listed here please feel free to contact me. I don't guarantee fixing irritants but I will make a big effort to fix bugs that affect the way the site works quickly, especially if it could be safety critical. Please also let me know which browser you are using.
| Bug/Issue | Quick Fix/Work around |
|---|---|
| When the tidal stream distances are populated after entry of speed, distance and departure time there is very occasionally a rounding error which puts a small number in the hour before departure. | Change either the speed or distance and then change it back again. If the problem persists change the departure time slightly. If it still persists send details. |
| Small blue box flashes in top right hand corner of screen. | Low priority as doesn't affect operation or general experience. |
| Tides table on iPads and possibly other tablets too narrow | CSS coding bug needs to be found |
| Tooltips on mobile device not responding properly and not sticking | Seems to be an application problem and being investigated. |
| Warnings use native browser alerts | These wil be transitioned to more user friendly nodal windows |

This next table lists some of the features I plan to add over time. Unless they are quick and easy it is likely to be winter 2018/19 when the I get round to them because this is a hobby and not a job! Please feel free to email any thoughts and ideas that will make the experience easier or more meaningful. I am particularly intersted in anything that might help novices understand course to steer.
| Feature | Outline |
|---|---|
| Add reference port details so that interpolation of neaps and spring tide streams can be carried out. | A data base of ports will be added eg Dover and columns that allow the user to enter the neap and spring tidal rate and rate will be calculated using straight line interpolation as well as adding their own data. Requires date and/or tide adding |
| Set up media print | Remove clutter, make sure passage fits or put on landscape etc |
| Save data | Probably to local storage although option exists for web storage but might cost if too much for free site. |
