Hi HN, I tried my best to make a visual weather forecast that has a high information density but is still beautiful to look at (and to pin as a widget on an Apple Watch watchface, iPhone homescreen and mac desktop).
The app uses the great (and ofter underrated) forecast sources:
- Foreca (consistently ranking on par with the best services at https://www.forecastadvisor.com, with a very capable nowcast)
- Open-meteo (an amazing indie project from Germany, integrating almost all of the western world's open data sources)
- Pirate Weather (indie API exposing NOAA's GFS, HRRR and NBM models)
No ads, no tracking, and no sharing of locations with third parties (I have a middle-man server to isolate weather providers from being able to track individual devices movements, and I don't store any location or personally identifiable data - just like I'd like every service to behave).
