🌤️ I built a weather app. Yes, another one. But hear me out... tWhat makes Baro different: No ads. Zero. Ever. Just weather. And then there's the depth. We're talking: 🌍 Weather for literally anywhere on the planet 📅 Full year overviews for any city in the world , the most extensive year overview ever created. 🎮 Weather games (yes, really — Beat Baro, High/Low, Guess Who) And yes, it's really ad-free. 🙂

It all started with a personal frustration: I was tired of opening multiple apps just to figure out if it was a good day to go cycling. I didn't just want to know if it was going to rain; I wanted to know the impact of wind, temperature, and sun on my specific route and hobby. The Problem: Most weather apps overwhelm you with raw data and adds but fail to provide the context you actually need. Is it 'BBQ weather'? Is it safe to fly my drone? Baro bridges that gap by turning raw data into actionable, personalized insights. My Process: What started as a small experiment with Open-Meteo data quickly grew into a full-scale AI-powered platform. The biggest challenge was transforming heavy datasets—like annual satellite embeddings, climate statistics, and global forecasts—into lightning-fast, readable insights directly in the browser. I’ve built this to be a tool for power users who want more from their weather. I’m incredibly curious to hear what you think – I’m all ears for feedback to make Baro even smarter! What Baro offers: 🌤️ Weather Core & Monitoring Live Weather Overview: Instant access to temperature, feels-like, wind, and atmospheric pressure for any selected location. Hourly Breakdown: Detailed weather insights per hour including rain probability, cloud cover, and UV intensity. 14-Day Forecast: Accurate long-term outlooks for temperature, precipitation, and extreme conditions. Professional Weather Maps: Interactive overlay maps for radar, wind streams, and temperature zones. Multi-Model Engine: Toggle between high-precision models like DWD ICON, ECMWF, and GFS for regional accuracy. Ensemble Plumes: Visual uncertainty projections (Ensemble forecasting) for better decision-making in volatile weather. Climate Insights: Visual heatmaps and statistics comparing current weather against historical 30-year norms. 🚴 Activity Planner & Sports Modules Smart Activity Scoring: A 1-10 scoring system for 10+ activities, custom-calculated based on your specific hobby needs. Activity Filters: Define custom parameters for hobbies like running, golfing, or sailing to see if the weather matches your "perfect day." Trip Planner: Plan routes for cycling or hiking, calculating the best start time to avoid rain and maximize wind advantage. Wind Tunnel Analysis: A specialized view showing wind speed, direction, and intensity relative to your planned travel route. Cycling & Hiking Focus: Detailed metrics for trail conditions, wind gusts, and surface temperature. Strava Integration: Sync past rides to analyze your performance against historical weather data. GPX Export & Editor: Manually edit routes on a map and export them as GPX files for your cycling computer.

Earth Insight (AEF): Visualize landscape composition (forests, water, urban density) using satellite data for your selected location. 🛠️ Personalization & User Settings Global Preferences: Set units for temperature (°C/°F), wind (km/h/Bft/knots), rain (mm/in), and pressure (hPa/inHg). Dynamic Theming: Full control over app aesthetics with themes like 'Neuro', 'Forest', 'Iceland', and 'Retro'. Flexible Routing: Switch between 'MemoryRouter' for PWA/Extensies and 'BrowserRouter' for browser navigation. User Profiles: Manage separate profiles for different contexts, such as 'Work', 'Cycling Hobby', or 'Vacation'.
