It has been an awesome learning experience developing this product and I have plenty of more ideas that I will add to NZAPStrike in future. It just got to the point if I didn't limit how many features I stick out in a version I would never release it. Coming from an IT(web dev) and weather background, I really would like to continue down this path for career.
This webapp is free for the Public however some features have been removed for Non-Blitzortung members.
Why I have done this: Since making the Blitzortung Oceania network with Ricky, I wanted to ensure that there always remains an incentive to join Blitzortung Oceania and see the network expand and gain more accuracy.
Feedback is much appreciated as always.....
