Great looking app. I only have one question I don't see explained anywhere: Where is the weather data pulled from?

@unseenvision Glad someone else was curious as well.

@unseenvision We're using data from Forecast.io for now. We might add other data sources in the future, though—still looking into that.

@jonasdowney fantastic. I use Dark Sky and forecast.io already. Will try out your UI!

Can't believe this is free, should charge for a nice weather app. Any plans for a Today Widget?

I love the design of the app and the price is great too 😄. One question though: your website says that your goal was the answer questions like "should I bike to work today", maybe I'm reading too far into this, but how is your data and app any better at this than something like Dark Sky (besides the price)? With Dark Sky, I can even set custom notification settings for rain likelihood, etc.

@aldenmarshall Hi Alden, thanks, and good question! When we used Dark Sky (and other apps with multiple different screens and abundant detail)...we found it was hard to make quick decisions without digging through the many chunks of information, a lot of which was often irrelevant at that particular moment, or buried away in secondary screens. So our goal was to show all the most important stuff in one place, so you don't need to poke around. There are a few ways we did that. First, we show the most critical details for Right now / The next few hours / This week, in one compact view, so you can just see it all right there. And second, we include extra details contextually only when it's relevant. So if it's unusually windy, you'll see wind speed. If it's foggy, you'll see visibility distance. If there's an alert, you'll see it, etc. There's also something subconsciously awesome about those charts — you can see trends and immediately spot when the coldest / wettest / hottest day will be. So if you're planning a trip, you'll know not to pick that gross cold and snowy Tuesday. It's not obvious when you look at it for the first time, but once you start using it you'll see what I mean. Hope that clears things up a little!

@jonasdowney Thanks for the clarification! I love the idea of contextual information and will keep an eye out for them as I use the app more. Looking forward to see where this app progresses to!

What David said - beautiful app!! One thing I'd like to see is an option to see both the low and high temperatures for the week at the same time vs. one or the other. Great as it is though!!

@nostradamion hey Damion, thank you! We tried showing lows at the same time, but found it wasn't all that useful, and made the design more complicated. (You can see those experiments in this post: https://medium.com/@jonasdowney/...) Maybe someday I'll come up with a better way to show them simultaneously though :D

Saw this on Slack yesterday -- it's really a fantastic app and strikes a great balance between too much information and overly sparse design.

What tech did you use to make this? Native ObjC/Swift or something else? (I'm guessing native as it's iOS only for now)
