I don’t think I understand what your issue is with them. They used an open-source project to visualize their data, were open about doing so, and cited the creator of the project.

What more did you want from them? (Genuine question.)

something within the interface that more clearly illustrates their product differentiation.

nullschool is obscure enough to the general audience that when I saw it there was an immediate red flag.

If only specialized scientists can see the difference between the sites, it's a presentation problem.

The interface in question is the second link in the post. To get to the interface without any of the other relevant context, you would have to:

- skip reading the post (which explains all of this)

- skip the first link in the post (which explains all of this)

- go straight to the second link in the post, to the interface

- skip the "about" link in the interface (which explains all of this)

FWIW: I read this post contemporaneous with your first comments, and saw exactly the content that's there now.

I was able to determine what this is, and I’m not a specialized scientist. I merely exercised the discipline to read the post before reacting and commenting.

Why are you personally attacking me?
