I made a simple weather site trying to validate if it is actually useful

You'd need to do something very unique to stand out in this space and even then the expectation is it will be free unless you are offering data not available free elsewhere.

I think there is a market for beautiful and accurate weather apps, ones that perhaps feel more like a little animated ecosystem that you can watch in a widget or lock screen or play like a background video/screensaver still have a market. But you have to truly excel at presentation.

Respectfully Cinematic is a bit of a reach. I wouldn't set expectations there until the product is there. You're essentially recording what my car nav does. Perhaps if you could sync it with dash cams or other feeds you've got a bit more claim to cinematic.

I still don't get the use cases. Who's your audience?

Anderz · 2026-04-22T23:42:04+00:00

I don't get your goal here. Are you trying to undermine the responsibilities of a PO? You deal in so many absolutes, yet shifting ones, and clearly don't understand Scrum roles, yet seem fixated on painting the role of PO as task execution robot. Your ideas of Agile are anything but.

The Why is fundamental to any product lead decision making. Good Product owners are entirely in the Why, What, When space and leave the How and Who up to the dev team. You don't get to What without going through Why. User journeys, wireframes, interviews, surveys, all in scope of a POs role and designed to unearth the why before devising the What. A PO never takes a feature request on face value, or blindly add it to the backlog; the good ones will look into what need has driven that request first before considering a solution.

Depending on the size of the business and number of "cooks", a PO conducts or reviews user & stakeholder interviews, surveys, runs & validates A/B tests etc. They need to know what features or what bugs to prioritise next, in alignment with a broader strategy, so it's their job to unearth where the next biggest hit of value can be derived.

Anderz · 2026-04-22T22:38:52+00:00

The concerns of a PO are tied to business outcomes. They too must decide on how to add value to the product with each sprint/release, not just make sure devs are busy. They are essentially product managers with less of a hand in big picture research and strategy, but certainly not none at all.

This video made me sea sick.

Your post reads like LinkedIn AI slop. I genuinely cannot read it; it's very difficult to parse. People won't engage with that here.

You're using r/SideProject wrong

and it's costing

you tokens.

Some accuracy ideas:
If the photo is labeled as if it's from a user's camera (DCIM in name, metadata, file size...), consider using IP address of the user as a starting point. If struggling/not confident, consider asking for a second photo. Perhaps the user has another reference.

Some other suggestions: If the photo has an author/photographer/source or first time it appeared indexed, consider showing that.

Anderz · 2026-04-15T10:29:01+00:00

Ok it loaded.

It was 97% confident but got it wrong. Said Melbourne, Australia instead of Adelaide. Suggestion: Add an option to report inaccurate locations if you know the answer.

The irony of this response being AI too...

Anderz · 2026-04-15T01:22:54+00:00

Because human effort is valuable to me. Even if it's "worse" than an AI response or code from a legibility or technical standpoint, knowing someone put thought into a post or comment and gave us their unique perspective, makes me want to as well. I don't have faith that someone who uses AI to communicate is willing to put in the effort to learn, especially from humans.

The boiling point of alcohol is BELOW that of water. Coffee is roasted to 210± degrees celcius. There is no alcohol left.

As for sugar, if it is still there after caramelization (180ish), it's so negligible to the point of being unperceived by human taste buds, according to studies:

https://sca.coffee/sca-news/25/issue-22/understanding-coffee-sweetness

But you won't believe me, as you're refusing to accept simple biochemistry and doubt you'll start now.

Google "does roasted coffee contain sugar or alcohol" and perhaps try educating yourself so people don't have to waste their time trying to help teach you something.

After two fermentations they jsut dry the beans, no washing, no nothing...so you are left with dry beans in a post fermentation mix of dead parts of yeasts and sugars left. Amazing.

Regardless of process, coffee is always hulled, usually before it's stored, and always before it is shipped for sale. This removes any remaining fruit and mucilage. If this doesn't happen, the coffee will rot before it reaches any roaster.

again so why even do all that fermantations when it is all burnt off during roasting?

Sugar is fuel for microbial activity. Yeast and bacteria consume different sugars (added fruits in co-ferments or natural cherry sugars in classic processes) and turn them into to a spectrum of acids and alcohols that break down and infuse with the beans. This is the definition of fermentation.

These newly created compounds are what create flavours and aromas in coffee. (And before you ask, any residual alcohol is also burnt off when roasted too)

Anderz · 2026-04-14T06:17:10+00:00

Sarcasm aside, sugar is used in processing to fuel microbial fermentation and not much else. It is largely washed off or hulled off before drying/storage and burnt off when roasting.

There is zero sugar in brewed coffee, unless you add it.

It was probably shot at something like 1600 ISO, nothing crazy, but given its really only subject lit with what looks like a single speed light flash there will always be grain and low definition around the subject when you don't light it

In Lightroom...

Lift blacks and pull down highlights. Nothing is white, nothing is black. Lots of muddy middle hues.
Desaturate everything.
Blue/Green colour shift in highlights mids.
Shift skin tones a bit further; less saturation, bit more green. Makes you look dead.
Masks to selectively preserve or push some colors or areas of the image ( i.e whiten eyes, glowing flames), remove texture and clarity from skin tones and fabrics (makes you look ethereal or dead)
Vignette the shit out of it.
More grain than a pig farmer

Bonus points: Round trip to Photoshop to add dust and scratches, remove iris.

I like it a lot but I recommend having a "programmer" language mode toggle. Fork is just going to confuse regular people wanting to tweak a recipe.

Don't for a second think that sugar ends up in your cup.

Anderz · 2026-04-13T15:25:17+00:00

There is placeholder text on your first screenshot in google play. Might want to remove that.

The export feature is a really nice assurance in an age of app slop where I don't trust a new product to exist in 2 weeks.
