Hi Product Hunt,
I’m Kai, the developer behind Weather mini, and I’m joined by Ann, our designer. We’re thrilled to share that we’re launching the major update to Weather mini here, almost six years after we first introduced this watch-only app.
We’d love to hear your questions and ideas about this little watch app!
The illustrations look incredibly charming! It's rare to see this level of visual polish on a standalone Watch app these days. Shoutout to Ann for the design work. Quick question on the animations: do they play on a loop, or are they optimized to pause quickly to save battery life on the watch?
Weather mini
@liusally4 Thanks! We are huge fans of standalone and lightweight watch apps.
The animation is in a loop, and it only plays when the card appears (less than 5% CPU consumption, so no worries about battery life).

@liusally4 Thanks! Designing for a tiny screen is fun, and the Watch deserves the care.

The day/night tracker complication looks super sleek. 🌗 I'm always looking for ways to spice up my Modular face. Can I customize the color themes of the complications to match my specific watch band, or are they strictly tied to the current weather conditions?
Weather mini
@yoang_loo Thanks!
The complications go with the watch face's scheme color.
Love that someone is building for apple watch!

@pasha_tseluyko Thanks!

@pasha_tseluyko Thanks. Apple Watch deserves more thoughtful apps！
The detailed hourly and daily forecasts are actually useful.I used to rely only on the default weather app, but Weather mini shows me the day at a glance in a way that actually helps me plan my day better.
Weather mini
@ayazakram Thanks! So happy you’re finding the daily card helpful!
A question about this:
When designing weather cards for such a small screen, how do you decide what deserves to be shown at a glance versus what should stay one tap away?
Weather mini
@frank_li13 We design with a clear information hierarchy: essentials first, details on tap.
