Our story begins in 1985 with the purchase of a Tandy 1000 PC and a fascination with computers. Fast-forward 38 years later and we are working to become a leader in mobile application development, website design, and information technology consulting. A lot has changed in the past 38 years, but one thing hasn’t: the fascination with technology is still as strong as it has ever been. We are excited to see where this takes us!
Timeline
January 2021
A script was built to collect space weather data from the Space Weather Prediction Center and display it on the Amazing Weather website. The goal was to provide users with a meaningful display of data related to the aurora borealis (northern lights). This gained traction with some fellow “light chasers” and refinements were made.
February 2021
Building on the small, local success of the website block and a suggestion to turn the block into a mobile app, the search was on to find a way to make that happen. After an exhaustive search of many different platforms, fate led us to Thunkable.com. And, with the click of a button, development of the Amazing Aurora app began!
2021-2023
Thunkable, a visual, block-based app development platform, was utilized for development of versions one through 10 of the Amazing Aurora app. The app went from concept to live on the respective mobile app stores in just under five weeks. It was quite an amazing accomplishment and we owe that all to the great work of the staff at Thunkable. Without them, it would not have been possible!
February 2023
After two years with Thunkable, there was a need to have more control over the design of the app and, in particular, to have physical code to work with. For this reason, we transitioned our development platform from Thunkable to Flutter. The first version of the Amazing Aurora app built completely with Flutter was version 11.0.
