Built an app that shows the good minus-tide windows at a glance
Amateur tidepooler on the California coast here. I got tired of squinting at charts trying to figure out which tides were actually worth driving for, so I built an app that just lists the upcoming good windows — minus tides that fall in daylight, in chronological order by default, with a sort if you want to see the lowest ones first.
Whether it's fieldwork, surveys, or weekend chiton-spotting, 'when's the next genuinely good low' is a question we all ask.
Sharing it with people who care about the intertidal. Pulls tide data from NOAA stations right now. Curious what else you'd want surfaced.
