I always hated how weather sites could not just detect my approximate location based off of ip (eg weather.com) and required me to enter in my zip code, google fixed that.
- artur_ 15y agoAbout a year ago I've built a small weather app which detects users' location using Geolocation API: http://wthr.in http://wthr.in

- ajross 15y agoPretty sure they got that after google. For years, wunderground was the best of a bunch of terrible web sites. They're still about 40% ads by pixel though, and have a hugely cluttered UI. I'll use them as a second step (Google's "detailed forecast" link) after typing "weather" into the chrome address bar. But broadly, they still suck compared to Google.
