Hello Weather

@unseenvision Glad someone else was curious as well.

@unseenvision We're using data from Forecast.io for now. We might add other data sources in the future, though—still looking into that.

@jonasdowney Nice. Thanks for the info.

@jonasdowney fantastic. I use Dark Sky and forecast.io already. Will try out your UI!

@hrbrt Widget is in the works!

@aldenmarshall Hi Alden, thanks, and good question! When we used Dark Sky (and other apps with multiple different screens and abundant detail)...we found it was hard to make quick decisions without digging through the many chunks of information, a lot of which was often irrelevant at that particular moment, or buried away in secondary screens. So our goal was to show all the most important stuff in one place, so you don't need to poke around. There are a few ways we did that. First, we show the most critical details for Right now / The next few hours / This week, in one compact view, so you can just see it all right there. And second, we include extra details contextually only when it's relevant. So if it's unusually windy, you'll see wind speed. If it's foggy, you'll see visibility distance. If there's an alert, you'll see it, etc. There's also something subconsciously awesome about those charts — you can see trends and immediately spot when the coldest / wettest / hottest day will be. So if you're planning a trip, you'll know not to pick that gross cold and snowy Tuesday. It's not obvious when you look at it for the first time, but once you start using it you'll see what I mean. Hope that clears things up a little!

@jonasdowney Thanks for the clarification! I love the idea of contextual information and will keep an eye out for them as I use the app more. Looking forward to see where this app progresses to!

@nostradamion hey Damion, thank you! We tried showing lows at the same time, but found it wasn't all that useful, and made the design more complicated. (You can see those experiments in this post: https://medium.com/@jonasdowney/...) Maybe someday I'll come up with a better way to show them simultaneously though :D
