Love the idea - but don't need another weather app. Ideally I would be getting notified via some thing I am already using - Slack, Text Message, Zapier integration. Does the app have a daily notification?

@danny_cohen1 That's a cool idea. It definitely could integrate with any of those, or it could do daily push notifications from the app. Question is, would you pay more or ongoing for that feature? I'd be a little concerned that everyone's daily notifications would cost me too much (I pay for the weather data). I'll look into it, though!

@truedrewco ah Interesting, that makes sense. Do you pay for each call to the weather data or just in general? Does it cost you more everyday I open the app vs someone who just has the app on the phone? I don't think I would pay for an ongoing subscription, but would be more likely to download/recommend if I could have it accessed in the place I wanted rather than just in an app.

@danny_cohen1 Yeah, it's pay per call over a certain amount of free calls per day. In theory, it's the same as if someone opens it every day, but my thinking is that it'd be too easy to set up a daily alert and then ignore it for months (or years), versus having to open the app. Maybe it's not a huge concern. I can always add the functionality and then remove it if it's not cost effective! And yeah, I didn't really think people would pay for that specifically, but just curious.

👋 Yesterdays Weather is a "first principles" weather app, but more importantly, it was built with the no-code tool Thunkable. In addition to the native iOS and Android apps, I also did a no-code web app version in Bubble. The web app version is simplified and offered for free, to showcase the functionality of the paid native apps. To round out the no-code stack, I used Carrd for the marketing site. About the app specifically- I built an API sometime around 2014 that takes a location and returns a human-friendly sentence comparing today's weather to yesterday's. I'd always wanted to know the weather this way, and around this time I stumbled across the Dark Sky weather history API. So I built it. Over the years, I've used the API for 2 major versions of an iOS app (since removed) and 3 web app versions, including a chat bot version, haha. For this newest, no-code version, I rewrote the API and opened the app up so it works worldwide. Other than the API, the whole stack is no-code! 💪 Thanks for looking, and I'd love to know what you think! Also... I have a no-code app in the app stores! Ask me anything!

@truedrewco sounds like a great idea but unfortunately web app does not really work outside USA, or is it not supposed to?

Hey Drew, congrats on shipping this. Curious to know how did you integrate the API and would love to see details if you share the process.

@5harath Thanks! I think I should definitely write something up for this. The first step in my case was creating the API itself, which is actually coded (but pretty simple). At that point, whether I was using my own or an existing third-party API, the process of pulling data into Thunkable is just a matter of using a web api block and pointing it to my API. In Bubble, I had to use an API plugin, and it was a little more tricky to implement than Thunkable, but once I wrapped my head around it, it was straightforward and really powerful.
