Ask HN: Would you pay to get daily, weather-focused clothing recommendations?
Would you use it if it were free?
- MortenK 13y agoI don't think there's much commercial potential in that one I'm afraid. Personally I just look out the window before deciding what to wear.
- poissonpie 13y agono to both questions. As others have mentioned though, not really your target audience
- patmcc 13y agoNot as described, but it might work if it was travel focused.
- palidanx 13y agoLiving in southern california not really. However if I went on a hike, I would want weather analysis in a given hour range (I got stuck in a hailstorm in Yosemite recently). But that would be a less frequent use case.
- palidanx 13y agoUpon further thoughts, I would want something which gives me a prediction for travel planning like.. 'What is the weather in Barcelona in December?' I realize that sometimes the answer might be simple if it is a more consistent climate, but some average would be nice.
- timhargis 13y agoNo, it's pretty simple to figure out what to wear just looking out the window and seeing what the weather is...
- hvd 13y agoI doubt people will pay for that, I actually launched something similar over the weekend http://hkelkar.com/2013/10/27/how-i-built-a-weather-decision-engine-or-the-story-of-wearthejacket-com/ http://hkelkar.com/2013/10/27/how-i-built-a-weather-decision...
- onion2k 13y agoAs I'm a man I only own one coat. Your entire app would just be; return (temp < 19 || rain==true) ? "Take the coat" : "Don't take the coat."; I don't think I'd pay very much for that.
- xwowsersx 13y agoGod I hope you're talking about celsius.
- codegeek 13y agoNot me personally. I can easily check the temperature on my phone and figure out the clothes i need. However, an interesting service would be to warn the user once outside but with improper clothing. So if i did not check the weather and got out wearing T-shirts in 30 degrees F, then warn me. may be a pop-up on my phone ? I might buy that app for $0.99 on the appstore.
- gmenard 13y agoI would not pay for that. A weather application is enough for me.
- meerita 13y agoAbsolutely, no.
- GFischer 13y agoCertainly not, but I'm probably not your target audience :) .
