I’ve been working on a weather forecast app that presents information in a more compact form.

It’s easy to see the difference in perception when you compare the two approach side by side. You can see the entire day’s temperatures at a glance, without scrolling or tapping. The current temperature is visible but doesn’t take half the screen. A full week’s forecast is accessible with just one or two scrolls.

It’s currently available at weather.simonuvarov.com, but works for Dublin only.

It’s a Progressive Web App (PWA), meaning you can install it on your phone’s home screen. Once installed, it behaves almost like a native app, including the app icon (shown at the beginning of this post).

There’s still work to be done, but it’s so much nicer to use already.
