There's no suggestion that the app will have a subscription cost and yet their data and processing costs are going to continue monthly. It's like a high-tech ponzi scheme. I just don't think it's sustainable so for that reason I couldn't back the project :(
- thegrossman 15y agoOur current thinking is that we're going to charge for API access to our data. But I must admit, we don't have a well thought out business plan beyond "make the best f-ing weather app and charge a decent amount for it".
- hopeless 15y agoSorry if I came across too negative. I've just got very militant about investing my time/energy/money in things which don't make financial sense. I was also building an app based on weather data do I have some idea of the expenses involved and I quickly realised that my (admittedly niche) product couldn't be supported by small once-off payments like the app store.
- mikeknoop 15y agoCould optimize the data-processing such that it could be done on the device itself? You still need a weather service that you can get radar data from freely.
