Do I Need An Umbrella Today?

Maker

Hi all, John here. Happy to introduce to you a personal project, that has emerged from my personal frustration with umbrellas ☔️ 😪 . I truly dislike bringing an umbrella with me, as it brings so much complexities. Take for example the case that you buy a too big and expensive umbrella (e.g. for golfers), it is actually a hassle to drag along - just by its weight and size. It is also something you will most likely lose during a company event, after one or two drinks🍺 . If you buy a small and cheap version, you won’t get sufficient protection due to the small surface. In addition, they tend to break quickly, and when this happens, you might as well not have had one with you in the first place😢. The bottom line is that I believe that everyone wants to minimise their interaction with umbrellas. And in order to do so, you need to know if it's going to rain or not. That is exactly what this web app tries to solve, by basically sending you automated alerts just before you leave your doorsteps. ☀️ 🌞 Btw, its not just for a rainy audience, it can be also used in sunny regions. If you are one of those lucky ones that live in a sunny region, you probably do not look at the weather forecast on a regular basis. As a pre-emptive measure, you can set up an alert to not get caught by surprise when it actually does rain. Happy to have your feedback on the idea and execution!

From now on I will be referring to rain exclusively as a "wet surprise".

I really like these types of projects that comes from personal frustration. It looks fresh and feels nice! It would require mobile push notifications for me to use it.

@infr Thank you for the feedback. Push is definitely on the pipeline, and it makes very much sense for the use case. If you like, create an account on the website, and you’ll receive an email when this becomes available. Otherwise follow me on Twitter.
