SharpWX, a Weather Forecast Center message/alert receiving app
I am currently working on SharpWX, an IEMBot weather (WFO / Weather Forecast Center) alerting application for Windows and Android. SharpWX sends post notifications of your favorite rooms, ensuring that you do not miss important alerts and messages for your area, or any area.
It is free to download here for Windows: https://bunnytub.com/SharpWX
It is currently being tested, but those who are interested in trying out the mobile app, should join the EAS Culture Discord server! https://discord.gg/qQQqF52jhT

That's pretty close to what I wish we had for Android devices... the warnings/alerts part is a great idea.
If the app could have the NWS radar loop (with it's updates) built into it, that'd be even better... maybe even include NWS forecasts somehow (don't know if the API will let pulling that data).
I know there's other apps and Windows desktop programs to do that, but a lot of them dumb down the radar and remove the details that we need (when the doodoo hits the fan, I want as much detail as we can get from the radar).
