vsergeev / briefsky Goto Github PK

On mobile, the tappable area is quite narrow in height and I don't think meets accessibility standards. Increasing top and bottom padding is an easy fix.

Dark Sky had a vertical layout that showed the temperate throughout each day. I find this a little easier to follow the the temperature visually instead of reading the numbers. Would you be open to a PR that either makes this the default view or allows it to be enabled via settings?

Would it be possible to create more of a simple icon so that when you add this to your home screen, it has more of a native app look?

Here's what it looks like currently:

The copy says Precipitation for both the probability and the amount. It would be clearer if these were "Precipitation" for probability and "Amount" for the amount. It would be worth figuring out better, more readable copy for when these values are zero such as "No rain"

Here's a screenshot showing the duplicate fields.

When querying the weather info between two apps (MerrySky and BriefSky) I can see the two apps showing different conditions for a given day. For example, the merry sky ui for Friday (Jan 26) shows

where as briefsky shows

As you can see that merrysky distinguishes between light rain and rain throughout the day. However briefsky doesnt.

Looking at the response for the hourly data at 30097 (no lat long provided for privacy reasons) i dont see any summaries that have light rain so not sure how merry sky is accomplishing this?

If possible, could you also show an arrow for the wind direction?
Or at least add it to the options?

I find ⬉ more intuitive than NW.
Thanks

Settings changes don't persist in the PWA, as it's not possible to save query parameters or update the static start_url with query parameters in the PWA manifest. Configuration will likely need to be saved to local storage for PWA.

In order to still support multiple briefsky instances, query parameters could override local storage settings, or local storage might only be used if the app is in PWA mode (which can be passed in from the manifest).

Many non-US users have their locale set to en-US, but expect metric units by default.

"lat,long" would be automatically parsed and populated into the coordinates fields when pasted.

What is the simple method to translate this application, maybe gettext ?
I can provide a french version.

Love the site, it brings back what made Dark Sky so good. The only thing I miss is precipitation radar showing storms/rain coming my way. I do know that this is an entirely different beast than sourcing data from a service, but NOAA does make their radar images available for free. Any chance of adding this to the page?

Great app! I added weather credentials but I'm still getting the box at the top saying that this is an example weather provider. I refreshed a couple of times but it remains. Opening up settings and my credentials are there.

Thanks for making this lovely website! It would be great if it could be supported as a PWA on ios. That would give it a native app feel and experience. A weather website which does this nicely is Merry Sky (https://merrysky.net/)

I find the current layout a little confusing since the hourly information under Today duplicates what the user sees on initial page load. You can't simply remove the Today accordion because it's the only place where you see precipitation and the sunset sunrise times.

I see two options:

1. Keep precipitation information and the sunrise/sunset times in a Today accordion but remove the hourly information since it duplicates what the user has already seen. This would be weird, though, since the data under Today will be different from the other days. You could rename it Details or something but that would look inconsistent with the rest of the items in the accordion which are days, not details.
2. Add precipitation and sunrise/sunset to the information you see on load along with the other daily details (Wind, Humidity, Dew Point).

Number two seems like the better way to go. It does lead to the scenario where you have more information at the top of the page, which raises the question "What is the most useful for the user?" I'm sure different people have different preferences and perhaps the best option is to expose these different values in the settings so people can choose what they want.

Personally, I have no use for pressure, dew point and visibility but do frequently consult precipitation probability, amount and sunset/sunrise times.

Here's a screenshot showing how the hourly information is duplicated:

It would be easier to scan if they were all justified.
