We made a new thing that's launching today! It's called Weather Machine, and it's a unified API for weather data. (This is the same system that powers Hello Weather, but now it's available for everyone.) More info here: https://helloweather.com/blog/introducing-weather-machine

    This has been in the works for a long time. Massive shout out to @trevorturk@ruby.social who did 95% of the hard work on this project!

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social This is awesome! Hello Weather is my go-to app for weather forecasts—has been for a long time. Looking forward to the new beta!

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social this is way, way too good to be true. From convenience to providers to pricing. Please confirm it’s true (:

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social I am interested in trying this API. Every time I use a weather app, I find something I would do differently. • The info I want isn't easy to find. • I want to see Celsius & Fahrenheit temperatures at the same time (or at least make it easy to toggle on the same screen, without going into settings) to help getting used to the metric system.

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social First time hearing about Hello Weather. Nice design! Giving it a try. It sure would be nice to have severe weather alerts though.

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social very cool! It’s nice to see the hard work of building the infrastructure that allows other developers to focus on other things.

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social @gruber@mastodon.social as one of the folks who used to work at Dark Sky (I did devops over there 2017–2019) this absolutely fills a void that I know many are feeling, even if Apple Weather has an API too. Kudos!

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social @helloweather@indieapps.space any plans to use Dynamic Island for weather reports / precipitation etc?

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social Are there any APIs for historical weather data? I've always wished for a weather app that shows me what yesterday's weather was to compare it to what's predicted for today but am not sure where to get that data.

    @jonasdowney@mastodon.social That's super exciting! Does the rewrite include the Android app, or just iOS for now? Thanks!!
