The service engine I've been building to power http://www.ifweather.com http://www.ifweather.com is powered by their API. I'm not sure I would have picked their API originally had I known the company was run by just two guys, but I am very pleased with the API so far. I'm happy to hear that the API is "going to be a big priority for us going forward". Many best wishes and best of luck to Adam and Jay as this new sunrise for your business begins.
- kamakazizuru 12y agojust had a look at your site. Why would I use this over a simple IFTTT alert?
- Contraptor 12y agoYou might use this instead of a simple IFTTT alert exactly because IFTTT is so simple. In other words, ifWeather.com is designed to be more of a weather alert management console for people that would like to setup and manage multiple alerts for multiple locations. I think that we in the technology industry forget that for so many other industries the weather really matters, and not just the weather where you or your phone are. A couple examples: - a surprising percentage of people that have signed up so far are photographers that want to be alerted to ideal forecast conditions for several locations. - My wife is a hydro-geologist, so a lot of her sampling needs to be done after specific weather conditions. Her sample locations are spread all over a large region and it's a real pain for her to check weather conditions for so many locations daily. Thanks for checking out the site.
