@bolte.idReposted by @oscars.loveAutumn is in full force with a foggy morning. Brought the camera with me and did a smol shooting for my weather app @oscars.love. I’m so proud of it knowing all the work that went into it the last 5(?) years. I really need to finally get this on the App Store haha 😅 #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev
@oscars.loveThe hourly view title now shows day and time, every section has a "More >" link, and the stats below the current temperature can be changed with a long press. Weather station charts are now labeled "Last 24h", and the map jumps to the new place when you switch locations. Feedback welcome! 2/2
@oscars.loveIn this update, I focused on polish and squashing a bunch of small bugs. Tapping a day now takes you to its hourly forecast, and ensembles have their own button there with a refreshed design. Now on TestFlight 👉️ testflight.apple.com/join/xf5iJcHh #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/2
@oscars.loveI want to get back to shipping earlier in the implementation process even if things are still rough and coverage is missing. Sorry to the all my US users 😄 All of this is possible thanks to data from EUMETNET and @dwdderwetterdienst.bsky.social, coming together on my own #OscarServer infra.
@oscars.loveOscar's newest update brings early weather station support in Europe. Pin your favorite or nearest station's temperature to the top, glance at the three closest, or dig into the last 24 hours of data.

@oscars.loveOscar has running costs and some users might want to support this free project. I won't paywall any features, just some app icons, stickers, and the iOS 6 classic skin. Oscar as a utility will stay free. If you have any feelings or wishes about this, please provide feedback. :) 6/6
@oscars.loveThis is an experiment: Oscar can now be morphed into an iOS 6 inspired weather app. This can be unlocked for free via a fake IAP, as this will be a supporter-only skin after release. Oscar also tracks some interesting statistics locally that you can explore. These will never leave your device! 5/6
@oscars.loveSome testers wanted to adjust values on the top shelf and even re-order/ adjust the sections. Both can be done now from the settings. 4/6
@oscars.loveI've reworked the hourly details view to be more compact and easier to understand. This is like the third iteration since the last update and I've been pretty happy with it! :) This also contains a Timeline/List variant. Let me know what you think. 3/6
@oscars.lovePowered by #Meteosat 3rd generation geostationary satellites, Oscar can now display a new near real-time cloud coverage, including a nowcast one hour into the future powered by #OscarServer. 2/6
@oscars.loveThe newest Oscar beta comes with a slew of new features: satellite cloud map layer, new hourly detail view, UI reordering, iOS 6 classic mode, on-device statistics, and a way to support Oscar in the future.

@oscars.loveOscar finally has a proper onboarding flow! I've already teased the personal hand-written note, but now you're also walked through the features and all necessary permission requests. I think it's really neat and offers users a first taste of what they can expect! #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/5
