Dark Sky, short term local weather prediction app.
- kevinpfromnm 15y agoQuite interesting. I'd be concerned about how this is going to hamper the device. It's processing locally, though it suggested it's through the gpu. It could be a significant drain on battery life. Also, to get accurate weather maps is going to take a lot of data. Seems like a better approach would be to put the calculation in the cloud or if that's impractical use a sort of crowd cloud by having the calculations be sent back up after they're made on the phone.
- thegrossman 15y agoJust the animations are being rendered on the device (to save bandwidth). The forecast data is being computed on the server.
