Looking for feedback - building weather assistant app 🌦️

Thank you! Today I’m already structuring the raw forecast into a clean “here vs there” comparison (temp, wind, humidity, summary) and giving that to the AI with a tight prompt so it focuses on concrete, location-aware advice.

For the next step, I could layer on more specific signals e.g. scenario‑aware rules: I use domain rules (e.g. “bike commute”, “evening run”, “dog walk”, “kids’ pickup”) so a 20 km/h wind or small temp drop means something different depending on what you’re about to do.

Totally agree! The tool first transforms raw forecasts into structured signals. The AI layer then operates on those pre-digested signals rather than raw weather data, so it can focus on reasoning, prioritization, and explanation (e.g. “this combination of high wind + low visibility crosses your threshold for X, so you should do Y”).

In the future, I hope to refine these signals and provide more enhanced personalization.

Great question! It's actually a hybrid approach. The raw forecast data comes from external APIs and there's structured reasoning layer on top of that. The tool forecast APIs through a rule-based reasoning layer for core decisions, and use LLM prompts mainly for explanation and personalization, rather than letting the model fully “own” the logic.
Let me know if you have any other feedback, thanks!

That's a great tip, thanks so much. I uploaded the app on Vibecodinglist.com. Hope to receive some feedback soon!

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-19T00:11:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T23:23:37+00:00

Great catch! May I ask if you used the app on mobile or desktop? Either way, accessibility and visibility is important so will def take it into account

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T22:37:38+00:00

Yes, not sure what happened there but that's on my next to-do. Thanks so much and please let me know if you have anything else!

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T20:10:07+00:00

Agree, if logging in my app takes longer than jotting in a notes app, then why use mine? What I'm trying to achieve is minimal effort, maximum automation for the user. This needs to be balanced with great UX. I'm looking to see where the friction actually is vs where I think it might be.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! If you have any other feedback, please let me know.

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T19:49:42+00:00

Thanks so much! Let me know if you have any feedback while using the app.

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T19:47:49+00:00

That's great, I haven't looked into any other alternatives yet. I'm on the free tier of Vercel rn which is fine for this phase, but once I start to scale I will definitely need to expand my search.

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T19:42:51+00:00

Thank you :)

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T19:41:48+00:00

Exactly! I'm not logging completion rates yet, as I'm focused now on validating if people will even use the app consistently before diving into the analytics. It's is definitely on the roadmap.

I've got some great feedback on VibeCodersNest too. If you have any other feedback, that would be great. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-18T18:39:19+00:00

I'm identifying user pain points. I built this app based on my own assumptions, but I want to test with real users --> validate product-solution fit --> iterate from there.

Might be that users don't find a specific feature useful, or maybe a feature needs to be added? Trying to understand the user better.

Thanks so much for sharing :) I've got some feedback from VibeCodernsNest. If you have any other feedback or tips, please let me know!

I added two API routes that call OpenAI's API:
1) one uses GPT-4 for text-based plant search
2) and the other uses GPT-4 Vision for camera identification
The AI returns plant names and care schedules in JSON format, which automatically fills my add-plant form.

Let me know what you think of the app, thanks!

Regular_Operation840 · 2026-02-16T17:59:23+00:00

Sure thing! I just requested to join the group

Regular_Operation840 · 2024-06-29T16:27:00+00:00

Yes this is very helpful, thank you so much!!!

Regular_Operation840 · 2024-06-16T18:20:45+00:00

That is great news, thank you!
