TUAW's Daily App: Umbrella Today
Calendar16 Wed, 12 May 2010 13:00:00 UTC +00:00
Last fall, I moved out here to Southern California, and while I don't mean to brag, my concerns about the weather outside have fallen right off of my list of priorities; it's sunny and 70ºF here most of the time. However, back when I lived in Chicago, I had to check and see what the weather was like every day before I went out . While I was interested in the temperature, the conditions, and even the wind speed (it's a Windy City, in case you haven't heard), there was really just one question that I needed answered: Umbrella today? Umbrella Today is a site that answers that question for you. It's the brainchild of tech consultant firm thoughtbot. All you have to do is punch in your ZIP code, and you will get a yes or no answer as to whether you'll need to bring that umbrella or not. Of Read More

Push Notifications Don't Work

Title says it all, use the email service instead it actually works.
Thanks!

I've always used your web service and gotten text messages, but I'm excited to use this because I can check it anytime and it utilizes the push notification service! Thanks! 

I know this is a slippery slope, because everyone has their own peculiar and idiosyncratic requirements, and pandering to every whim can lead to feature bloat, killing the core feature of this app - its simplicity. But here is my logic: I just want to use one weather app before I step out of the house. I don't care about doppler images, precipitation probabilities (at the end, my decision to carry an umbrella is binary - yes or no), etc. But I do care about the temperature, so I know what to wear. This app is brilliant, but I find myself checking the Weather Channel for the temperature, which is super annoying and sort of makes this app redundant. Just a single immediate outside temperature readout would make this app perfect (something like the thermometer app in the app store). Add that, and people are likely to use this as their #1 weather app. And they can use stuff like the weather channel app if they want multiday forecasts, temperature ranges, and to decide if they need to buy flood insurance asap.
