Show HN: Dead simple hourly forecast

10 points by davidjhamp 15y ago

I got tired of bookmarking weather sites wherever I went so I created this. It generates a forecast based on your current location. I'd really appreciate any criticism and feedback even more so.

  You are using data from yr.no. I was wondering, if they give away worldwide weatherdata for free, or if you had to struk a special deal with them.

    No its all there for free, they offer a great service. http://api.yr.no/weatherapi/documentation http://api.yr.no/weatherapi/documentation

  Simple and useful service, but please add client location somewhere in the page header (in my case: Belgrade, Serbia). How can I be sure that your web application figured out right location (because of proxy servers and other factors)? EDIT: oh, someone already made this remark.

    Will do, thanks for commenting anyway, helps gauge how important this is to add.

You should probably show the location that is being used. I would feel more comfortable with relying on it then. Great project, I'll use it.
- davidjhamp 15y ago
  That makes sense. I'll look into adding that.

Nice design... I am in Brazil and it couldn't find my locations using Chrome for some reason. But congrats anyway !

  Thank you, this was one of my first tries at some real design and I tried really hard :)

Nice app, I like the clean interface. The header takes up a lot of space though, at first glance I only see two-three rows of the table. Others may be interested in http://www.weatherspark.com http://www.weatherspark.com as well. Really slick weather app for a slightly more data-filled UI.

  I like their graph, very detailed. I've had some other people tell me how they like to read the forecast graphs as well so maybe I'll add that in the next iteration but still try to keep it super simple... if possible.
