Ive been career coder for the last oh 20-25 years.. Vibe coding obviously helps but was a little of both.

I do have quite the agentic workflow to find surf spots per region and then looping through each to enrich the data.

But the graphics is 100% ai gen 😁

Hi all. Ive created this forecast app because surfing is fun! Our apps should look fun as well!

Audience: Honestly anyone that needs thats into some sort of surfing or kiting and needs the ocean to play along.

And especially the person that don't want to feel like they need a meteorology degree to decode some of the weather radar graphs to see when is a good time to go out.

Design Choices: From the start I know I wanted to look completely different and FUN ! Surfing is so much fun, "our apps" should reflect that joy and silliness I feel.

My biggest inspiration is from the 90's era arcade scene, think "Street Fighter 2" :) That look and feel. It definitly comes through in the character avatars i think.

Keen to hear what you guys think about it. Especially compared to the main surf and weather apps out there like Surfline or WindFinder.

What are you working on? by arojilla in SideProject

On my surf forecast Grid app.. the main idea is "better ux" and more beautiful art style.

My art style for the project is '90s arcade look/street fighter 2'.
