Repository navigation
Released 2026-10-10.
New
- The search can look in sixteen more countries (Iceland, Tonga, the Solomon Islands, Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, South Korea, Algeria, Albania, Romania, Tajikistan,
Kyrgyzstan and Argentina) and in two areas that are not countries: Hawaii, and Kamchatka with the Kurils. The
names follow the language of the page. - A search that comes back with its limit of 40 earthquakes says that it stopped there and how to see the rest, in
all nine languages. It used to end the list without a word, as if nothing else matched. - The README opens with one plain sentence on what the page does, in all nine languages.
Fixed
- A shared link's pin and language beat what the browser had saved, and they came back on every reload. Someone who
opened a friend's link, moved the pin to their own home and reloaded found the friend's pin again, and a removed pin
came back too. The address now drops the link's pin and language once the viewer chooses their own. - On a Safari before 17.4 (and a Chrome before 116) every request to USGS and EarthScope failed before it was sent,
becauseAbortSignal.anyis missing there, so a quake that is not on the featured shelf, the Recent, Search and
Link tabs and the seismogram did not load.AbortSignal.timeout, missing before Safari 16.4, has the same fallback. - On a phone the prompt to drop a pin was cut off at the bottom of the sheet for anyone whose time zone is not UTC,
and on a 640 pixel high screen in every zone, because the quake card spent four lines on its facts. They run on as a
row that wraps, and the cards take a little less padding on a screen of 700 pixels or fewer, so the prompt shows at
390 by 664, 375 by 667 and 360 by 640 in all nine languages. - In a browser without Web Audio, or one that refuses to start it, pressing the sound button threw an error that
nothing caught. The sound stays off now. - On a screen 350 pixels wide or less (an iPhone SE of the first generation, a 320 pixel window), the speed buttons ran
past the right edge of the screen, by 26 pixels once the clock read four digits. The play button, the clock, the
sound button and the speeds take less room there now, and a browser test checks the timeline from 320 to 375 pixels. - Opening the check card scrolled it into view with an animation even when the viewer had asked for less motion.
- The dots for strong motion stations and felt reports built a colour string for every dot on every frame, about 0.4
milliseconds a frame for 5,000 dots on a desktop processor and more on a phone. Each dot's colour is made once per quake.
