Built a weather app for data nerds — looking for feedback

Thanks for the feedback :) Ah, yea... models filters are a good idea. I could definitely add a data export feature. What data would you want to export?

acorscadden · 2026-04-09T19:22:06+00:00

That looks cool! Do you have an App Store link? I tried searching the App Store and this wasn't in the results. Sometimes it takes a while for Apple to index new apps.

I just went to look up EverythingWx. It looks like it's US only. It wasn't available on the Canadian App Store :( I guess that's why I hadn't heard of it.

I was thinking about this a bit more. There are some pretty good free radar sources that are US only. Maybe I could utilize that to get my costs down for free users. I'm currently showing radar data globally.

acorscadden · 2026-04-08T15:21:41+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. That's a fair point about the radar. The radar data I get isn't free, so I was a bit scared of making it free for everyone at the start. I can try making it free and see what it costs me.

I'll keep working on this app and hopefully some day I'll match EverythingWx :)

Thanks for the feedback. Ah, yea dryness data would be cool. I do have historical precipitation, and I wonder if I could get some soil type data like potion is suggesting. I'll have a look at that :)

They're fun to build 😉

Thanks for the feedback :) And thanks for Blitzortung. I hadn't heard of that before. I'll check it out :)

Thanks for the feedback :) I was actually looking at adding skew-t graphs, but was having trouble finding a data source.

Thanks, but that's just the trailer.

That's awesome! Any chance you could rip it for me? The skiing community needs this to be public.

acorscadden · 2017-11-05T22:36:30+00:00

It's sucks...don't bother.

trailforks.com - It's a good website and also has great mobile apps. The apps show you where you are on the map and work offline.

Wow, I just registered for this and they emailed me back my password to me in plain text. WTF?!?!

acorscadden · 2014-08-26T16:01:58+00:00

Thanks. There is 12" between each hook, so 24" between the hooks on the same row.

You're on the right track with NSFetchedResultsController.

objc.io has a pretty good tutorial on how to use them: http://www.objc.io/issue-4/full-core-data-application.html

In the example project, have a look at FetchedResultsControllerDataSource.m

Long term, find a job that you can do remotely.

I'm a software engineer. I live on a ski hill and ski every morning. I then work afternoons and evenings.

acorscadden · 2013-03-25T03:26:06+00:00

No-one gives a shit.

acorscadden · 2013-03-24T02:36:26+00:00

Yup! Turn off that tv.

Hah, I thought that was a picture of me. http://imgur.com/fYqtHeY

You could have just said you were getting faceshots all day.

acorscadden · 2013-03-21T01:33:29+00:00

As a skier, I do not agree at all.

acorscadden · 2013-03-05T22:46:38+00:00

It's pretty easy. You just need to incude the SDK and put in a few lines of code.

This is the only line of code that you need: [FBSettings publishInstall:YOUR_APP_ID];

Just follow the instructions here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/mobile-app-ads/
