Seeking input from forecasters re: their blogging/ publishing tools (short survey + early access)

[hooralph]

Hi all 

(mods, if you need to move this to marketplace, I understand. I was just hoping it wouldn't be buried there)  

I am looking for input from mets and serious hobbyists about the tools they use to share their analysis and forecasts outside of here (blogs, personal sites, social media, newsletters, or anywhere else).

  --> TL;DR: I am building a weather platform / app and want to onboard early adopters interested in expanding their reach. I put together a short survey to make sure I'm building the right tools.

What I'm building:

A weather app and publishing platform with two goals:

• For the public: highly personalized, hype-free weather guidance with real medium-range risk information. The target is people who need clearer guidance to make real decisions about their property, their businesses, their week.
• For forecasters: a dedicated place to publish analysis that reaches a broader audience, with tools built specifically for weather content — mapping, accuracy tracking, subscriber relationships — instead of fighting general-purpose blog tools and social media algorithms.

I believe the best weather analysis is being produced by independent forecasters, and that most of it never reaches the people who would benefit from it. The platforms that do reach general audiences reward sensationalism over substance. I am trying to build something better.

What I would love to have from you:

A 3-minute survey about your current tools, what's working, what's not, and which features would make a difference:

If you're interested in early access and helping to test out the tools, there's an optional section at the end to leave your info. I'll share results back here.

Thanks!
