This isn’t just an update. It’s a full rewrite of the frontend — the part you interact with — designed to make the site faster, cleaner, and much easier to use across all devices.

What changed?

If you’ve used DXLook before, the idea is the same:
A single place to see real-time propagation using data from PSK Reporter, WSPR, RBN, DX Cluster, POTA, SOTA, APRS, and space weather.

What changed is how it feels to use it.

• The site loads faster
• Mobile finally behaves like a proper mobile app
• Tablet users now get a real layout (not just a stretched phone view)
• Widgets are cleaner and more stable
• Navigation is more predictable

Nothing you rely on is gone — it just works better.

What’s new for operators

A few things you’ll notice right away:

• Band Activity widget
  • A quick way to see which bands are active and where, using DXLook’s data.
• Improved layout and controls
  • Less overlap, less jumping around, more focus on the map.
• Better Events page
  • Easier to use when planning operating activity.

Why this matters

The previous version of DXLook had grown a lot over time, and it was starting to show its limits.

This rebuild removes those limits.

It means:

• Faster updates and improvements going forward
• Better performance on all devices
• More flexibility to add new features and tools

In short, this is the foundation for what comes next.

A quick note

This is a fresh release.
If you notice something off, it’s probably real — and feedback is welcome.
