teaser for my little winter project.

@hbons This makes me wonder if anyone has done something similar for Home Assistant... I'll have to go digging later.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@Lynx yes! someone in this thread replied with a link.

@hbons Is there a way to show some kind of a simple graph? Like, perhaps percentages over the next couple hours? Or some kind of indicator of how likely things are now?

(General weather apps might probably be good inspirations.)

[blackwolf12333@hachyderm.io]

@hbons can we already get this somewhere? I'd love to try it out

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@blackwolf12333 needs another week or 2. then I’ll have some flatpak CI builds for testing.

@garrett @hbons I quite like how Aurora Forecast on Android does it... a bit garish so could be refined a bit I'm sure, but easy to see at a glance how favourable the current conditions are.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@scottishwildcat @garrett that's much better than the most installed iOS one!

[scottishwildcat@mastodon.ie]

@hbons @garrett It is! I only found it recently, so can't vouch for its accuracy yet…

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@scottishwildcat @garrett there’s only one source for the data. it’s literally a matter of presentation and interpretation.

[scottishwildcat@mastodon.ie]

@hbons @garrett True. Even so, I have 3 aurora apps on my phone that rarely agree with each other

adding a small inline ️ icon and suddenly your eyes have a kind of anchor from which to explore the rest of the text.

sometimes decorations are good.

got some line graphs going using SVG and with the system accent colour.

still blurry and need to iterate on the style, but it's a start.
