The idea came from trying to save on my energy bills. I was getting fed up with hanging laundry out on "sunny" days, only for it to stay damp because the humidity was too high, which usually meant I gave up and threw it in the dryer anyway. I always looked online for a better way to check the "real" drying conditions, but I was disappointed by websites being too complicated to answer the simple question “Should I dry my clothes outside today?” I wanted a tool that told me exactly when I could get away with a free outdoor dry, so I built one. How it helps save money: Instead of just checking for rain, it pulls real-time data for humidity and wind speed to calculate the actual evaporation potential. It basically tells you if the air is actually capable of drying your clothes today. Features for the frugal-minded: Indoor Tip: If it's a "NO" day, it gives a quick tip on the most efficient way to dry indoors. Day Outlook: A grid to help you plan your "big wash" for the cheapest/best day of the week.
