    If I could manually set/select locations this might be perfect for me too.

    I wonder why the scroll performance of every vibe coded app is the same kind of laggy. I assume they're defaulting to the same frameworks or implementations? Or the verification loops in training environments haven't prioritized frame rates/dropped frames yet.

    Great app idea, a few times I had to look at the archive data online and it isn’t as easy as current live weather or next few days.

    The mice from other users in the background is a really fun addition to the site. I appreciate the 'quiet mode' toggle that disables it as well.

    I think it is a great premise and I feel the same way to. Is today like yesterday, because then I should bring a jacket, etc.

    It's such a shame for iPhone users that they can't install whatever apps they want. Especially with AI now if I was using an iPhone I'd want to be able to use apps for personal use without paying apple or refreshing every week.

      Yeah, I'm on Android and I have F-Droid for the time being, and I'm planning to register myself as a power user, but I think the writing is on the wall and the mobile ecosystems.

      My side projects that I've been building are now easily self-hosted web apps that do common functionality that I care about, so I don't have to be beholden to the app stores. I wish this were a more widely scalable solution, because self-hosting still isn't as easy as just installing an app, even though perhaps it could be.
