Show HN: Beautiful intuitive weather forecasts that don't rely on numbers/units

4 points by Leftium 43 days ago | 7 comments

- Visualize weather metrics via space and colors

- Compare current/future conditions with weather you experienced the day before

- Understand/compare how conditions change throughout the day

WeatherSense started out as a hand-coded project: https://github.com/Leftium/weather-sense

- Would you consider this project a good example of how AI can be used to enhance coding?

- Claude helped implement many new features from the backlog, like 60-min precipitation forecasts

- Claude helped add some whimsical features: I only considered adding because AI experimentation is cheap:

* "Calm mode:" truly emphasizes how WeatherSense doesn't need numbers by removing/replacing all numbers from UI

* Dynamic background color based on sun angle (time + location)

Major inspirations:

- DarkSky

It is not beautiful for me on Mobile

Can you clarify? Is the rendering broken on mobile?

I just checked, and the responsive layout seems to render correctly on Android Firefox/Chrome and iOS Safari.

You can even save WeatherSense to your home screen as a simple progressive web app.

I don't like the color scheme with the gradients; nothing functionally wrong, just my reaction.

Any way to change units? My location uses the metric system.

There is a unit toggle button right below the day tiles. Your selection should be persisted across page loads.

- You can also tap any unit to toggle.

- But the main point of WeatherSense is to transcend units ^^
