Created a recession prediction app (US economy) utilizing three economic indicators, analogized to weather forecasting, and adding my own pattern recognition insights.

Looking for UI/UX and content cognitive flow feedback. Is it intuitive? Did you experience an understanding of the current economic situation?
I’m not a fan of emoji. Try telling agent “Use lucide react icons instead of emoji throughout this app” and see what you think of the result.
Also, is the distance to a recession zone high or is the risk of recession high? Could use clarity or tooltips.
Here’s what Replit opined:
”The Compatibility Issue
Here’s the fundamental challenge: Your application is built with Streamlit (Python), not React. Lucide React icons are JavaScript/React components that cannot be directly used in a Streamlit Python application. This is a technology mismatch - like trying to use iPhone accessories with an Android phone.”
Made some tweaks. Hopefully, effective.
Ah, it’s py. You could try asking for lucide-py instead or for font-awesome icons.
I queried about both libraries:
“The challenge: Both icon libraries would need workarounds in Streamlit since there’s no native support. You’d have to embed SVGs or use HTML components, which adds complexity.
My Recommendation
Stay with emojis for now. Here’s why:
, 
, 
) are universally understood in financial contexts
) for risk levels are instantly recognizable”I’ll stay as is for the time being. If significant engagement, that may spur changes.
Thanks for tips and guidance as always.
Emojis look great!
