Building a weather app for photographers
1 point

About

I’m building PhotoWeather because I got tired of missing the good conditions. Forecasts aren’t made for photographers: they don’t answer “when can I get fog at sunrise?” or “where are the gaps for sunbeams?” PhotoWeather turns weather forecasts + astronomy into shootable time windows. Pick a location, choose a template or rule (fog, aurora, golden hour, dramatic clouds), and get emails & calendar events telling you when it’s time to go.

Mobile app BETA testers wanted (especially Android)

I've got pretty much launch ready native apps for iOS and Android in the pipeline, but they could use a bit more wider testing

Especially my Android test group is quite small and as a new developer on the Play Store - Google won't let me launch the app to production without a sufficiently large testing group, so support with testing the Android version would help out a lot
