So now are you spying on me somehow? I don’t understand apps, I didn’t pay for this, so what are you getting out of it if it’s free for me? serious question because I don’t know how the world works.
That’s a great question. I’m using the API from Open Weather. It’s free for the first 1000 requests, then like fifteen cents per 100 after that. They also have a free version of their API.
Eventually, if enough people start using it, I’ll switch to the free, limited version. So I don’t share this app with others much.
What am I getting out of it? I built it because I was tired of other weather apps and also wanted something to add to my portfolio since I’m trying to switch from SDET to Android developer.
Well i also installed it now and it is great! Indeed a no BS design and really simple (in a good way). If a paid option comes along I will definitely get it if am not a poor student anymore. Only issue i had was that I was not able to switch to mm\hour (unresponsive ui button) on my FP5 but I expected so much less and you have already blown me away. If you would progress development a widget would be nice. (I really don’t expect further development but maybe youappreciated the feedback.
And how does the free API differ? Less exact data like graphs?
The issue you discovered with the unresponsive button os a bug, thanks for finding it. You can still switch, if you click the checks on the right, I just forgot to attach the text to the click. That will be updated this week.
I want to add a widget at some point, so keep an eye out for it in the future.
The free API basically is just less information. Shorter forecast, 5 vs 8 days, 3 hours vs 48, etc. the details are mostly the same, just essentially looking through a smaller window.
Haha, no problem for the kind words and noticing the bug, also interesting to know what was at fault. (Literally just checked to see if what you said was true and yes you were right but it the app also updated afterwards with the bug fixed so honestly, really cool that that happened.)
I think it is really important to say these kind words and especially and only when they are true. Most people only give feedback in a negative way which is also necessary but can really demotivate creators.
If I had one more feedback thing I could give it would be that the design maybe looks a bit older (in a it uses a design philosophy of idk 5 years ago). I really like it personally though so if you do change things please make it user choice. But I think most people are looking for the really abstract modern design. I can’t fully see what it is but I think it is the lightish blue background and the black seperate elements. Maybe make the background more black and merge the elements and seperate them with a single white line. I still like it but if you apply for a big company and you want to use this for your portfolio, I would think that that would make your app design more attractive. I am not a designer or IT person in any means, my father has a web design company and I just have a great interest in it all, so please take what I say with a grain of salt.
Also, lets say I want full API acces. How would you go about a paid version? A one time payment is be impossible due to the ongoing cost and a subscription seems unlikely. You were probably not planning to do it because of those reasons but I was curious.
Last night i looked at this briefly and just thought “cool, thats nic cage through the years” this morning i look again and i realise what i missed and now im giggling by myself in the bathroom. Thankyou OP.
Plan B is a pill that you take after somebody cums in you to prevent a pregnancy. Since plan A is to use protection, plan B is used when, for some reason, you could not have used protection.
I’m aware. What I was joking about was the ambiguous wording that could be taken to mean that someone came in someone in order to prevent pregnancy. Potentially analogous to turning on a lamp to prevent light 😛
Reminds me of this passage from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
The renewed shock had nearly made him spill his drink. He drained it quickly before anything serious happened to it. He then had another quick one to follow the first one down and check that it was all right.
That’s only if the gambling place doesn’t rig the games…by the way, every gambling place has a business model that depends on their customers losing all their money.
okay never mind the John Travolta picture but oh my gosh 1982, I never knew Nicholas Cage was kinda sorta handsome. Maybe he worked really hard with a photographer to get that shot.
