We don't care about a Weather app. Very easy to do and there are millions of it. What is missing is good freely accessible data /api for weather info.
Most free one are disappearing and frustratingly in most countries, the weather agency you pay with your tax will not provide it for you.
- allddd 8mo agoWeather agencies funded by taxes should make their data available to everyone, since it’s the public that finances them. Luckily, that’s already the case where I live, but when I travel I have to rely on global sources like Open-Meteo, which are usually less accurate than local ones. Another open (and global) alternative would be great.
- estearum 8mo agoI care about a weather app and since Dark Sky disappeared there has been nothing even remotely close to it in usefulness, FOSS or otherwise.

- skadamat 8mo agoSpeak for yourself :) Weather data is already freely available. I want something that integrates into my life very minimally and just gives me the information I need when I need it. Most weather apps fail at this.
- wlonkly 8mo agoI care! I have to cross-reference multiple apps to get a good detailed forecast, a "minutecast" of precipitation, and Canadian humidex and windchill numbers. I haven't tried this one yet because I'm a little confused why it didn't offer me a free trial, but if it gives me all of that then I am sold.
- Sgt_Apone 8mo agoI think it’s a bug for Canadian users as it doesn’t offer me a trial either. Or they just don’t do trials here.
