#22Xweather Live is an ad-free vector weather map built to showcase our weather APIs. It's a fun app with lots of data layers and features. Feedback welcome!
Out of curiosity, how long did this take to write and what AI stack did you use?

I love PWAs these days. They’re very polished now. A few of my projects I’m going that direction.
Second this.

#25Cool idea, but this took about 15 seconds to load for me and then lagged very hard, especially while zooming. So I wasn't able to use it very much before getting frustrated enough to exit the page.

This is admittedly quite niche (as I work on a balloon experiment) but I really appreciate how the nullschool map shows the 10 mbar level (5-7 would be even better if course)

#27Sorry if this sounds harsh but this looks similar to commercial weather services in terms of the types of layers. How does this actually work?
Did you manage to track down their other services’ providers and negotiate access?

They can just use the free government services. Most of the 3rd party services just wrap the various government services behind an API.

#29I've worked a lot with weather data in the past (and I still am), and I have to appreciate all the work that went into this. Weather model data is notoriously messy with many different formats and standards, and then I'm not even talking about radar data, etc. Probably when you've got this all abstracted away behind an API it is easier to build such a powerful application as this.

#30It is really cool. I don't think I've seen a weather app like it. Works great on Chrome + desktop. Great job. One small feature idea is showing the most hot and cold places at any one time. I love it!
Yea, and once you zoom out - being able to intuitively see the temperature all around the planet just creates this sense of appreciation for where we are. On top of it, one can't help but notice that we are floating nowhere in particular in this infinite and eternal universe ...
