Product ideas and feedback thread
An open thread inviting ideas and feedback on future GribStream features.
On December 17, 2024, we opened a thread to collect product ideas and feedback from the community.
What we were asking for
We wanted practical input on the areas that matter most to day-to-day weather data work:
- Model coverage: which NOAA or ECMWF feeds to prioritize next (global, regional, ensembles, wave, chemistry).
- Data access patterns: coordinates vs. grids, bounding boxes, and bulk extraction at scale.
- Output formats: CSV for spreadsheets, JSON for apps, NDJSON for streaming pipelines.
- Backtesting workflows: how you use as-of time-travel and what horizons matter most.
- Derived metrics: accumulations, thresholds, and event detection logic that should be first-class.
- Integrations: preferred languages and tooling for clients, notebooks, and dashboards.
How it shapes the roadmap
Feedback from these threads helps us decide where to invest next. We prioritize new feeds as they become available via the AWS Open Data program, and we use real workflows to drive improvements in expressions, filters, and query ergonomics.
If you have ideas or pain points, we still want to hear them.
