NotePlan

I've been using Kagi for about a year and love it. Searching without ads, with a bunch of power-user features, and a thoughtful approach to AI, has been very nice. - https://kagi.com I've also been enjoying NotePlan. I stumbled upon a system I like for managing my work in Obsidian at work using some plugins, and then found NotePlan is basically an app designed around the exact system I cobbled together, with some added quality of life improvements. My data is in plain text files, so that makes it future proof (to a degree), which I also like. - https://noteplan.co Merry Sky is another. A spiritual successor to Dark Sky, since Apple bought it and shut it down. It's not as nice as Dark Sky was, but hopefully it gets there. It's nice for seeing the upcoming week of perception forecasted in one visual view. - https://merrysky.net.

OpenWeatherMap

Thanks for the images~ I used to use DarkSky myself, but I had completely forgotten about the vertical precipitation bars! The "minutely" 60 minute precipitation forecast (graph) is one of the reasons I am re-writing my weather app: I was constantly using other weather apps because my app was missing the 60 minutely forecast. Unfortunately Open-Meteo doesn't provide minutely data, and I wasn't able to get the Apple WeatherKit API working. My plan is to merge the minutely data from https://openweathermap.org I stole the radar map from Merry Sky because it didn't seem to difficult add. I thought https://www.windy.com used to let you zoom out all the way to a globe, but maybe it was a different service? My current idea is show all the precipitation timelines in a compact "grid" next to where the weather icons are currently rendered. The tick marks will only be shown for the currently "active" day so the grid can be more compact. The precipitation timelines will also have the temperature graphed on top like a sparkline. The sparkline will be normalized so all the timelines have the same min/max temperature. Hovering/touching a timeline moves the vertical red tracker line and updates the stats in the sticky top section, so you can see the exact numbers. I may also add "ghost" trackers on the other timelines so it is easier to compare the other days. I wonder how my idea would compare to your idea for vertical timelines?
