Wow, 2009? That feels like ancient history in the Android world 😂 major props for keeping it going this long.
@henry_turner2 Google Play forces you to either constantly update the app or drop it entirely. Although the app wasn't a financial success, I still use it as a learning project.
Love how light this app is — no 20MB of ads or bloated trackers just to see if it’s raining 👏.
@lexi_bethan It was under 500K before I included a Material Design 3 theme.
Super cool that it’s open source. It definitely feels way more trustworthy than your average weather app.
@gisla_night Thank you! With open-sourcing, I hoped to give the app a fresh push since monetization failed in any case.
“Isn’t it funny how something you created to learn Android has outlasted half the ‘serious startups’ from 2009? 😅
@ava_mitchell3 Perhaps the key is not to take oneself seriously?
Downloaded it for the nostalgia — takes me back to when every weather app wasn’t just a data-hungry monster.
@gregory_dower I think we should fight for the old times. How did we come to accept data-hungry monsters in the first place?
Material Design 3 looks sharp. The UI is clean, but the font might feel a bit squished on smaller screens?
@erica_johnson4 It shouldn't squish on smaller screens. Could you please provide a screenshot somehow, here or on GitHub issues here: https://github.com/vbresan/WeatherForecastUSA/issues
“Privacy-focused + no account needed = instant download for me. That’s honestly rare in weather apps.
@charles_zolat Sad but true. Thank you for your support!
