⛅ Weather app for Linux made in LibAdwaita

forecast's Issues

Improve the design?

Increase the number of temperatures and add graphs, there is an app on the mac https://frankbyte.com/weather

You can make a chart here https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/elastic
https://developer.gnome.org/hig/index.html

Better app listing

This app's listing already looks pretty good, with just a few tweaks it could pass the Flathub metadata guidelines, which would make it eligible to be featured.

The issues are:

• The summary "⛅ Weather app for Linux made in LibAdwaita" is too long and a bit odd. Something simple that doesn't get into technical details, such as "Check the weather" would be better.
• The app needs brand colors https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/metainfo-guidelines/quality-guidelines/#brand-colors
• The screenshot has non-default window decorations (should be close-only)

Applying custom css background makes app crash

well the title explains what happens, and because of that in the next release I will not include any custom css styling.

Small papercuts in UI

City name + Sky Value seems not translated.

Units entry seems not translatable.

https://github.com/SalaniLeo/Forecast/blob/master/Forecast/App.py#L23

Also Personal API area seems too narrow.

Remove Left Anchor for Weekly Forecast

Nice weather app!
There's just one (actually pretty minor) thing I think needs to be changed.
I believe anchoring the Weekly Forecast to the left side of the window is a missed opportunity that also results in an imbalanced feeling app.
Example:


I believe utilizing whatever Flexbox-like technology GTK provides would allow the app to feel more balanced at any window size.
This also could allow for a responsive app that automatically realigns into a vertical scroll-able layout for mobile devices and devices with small displays.
Thank you for considering this change, and I really like the app :)

[Feature Request]: add ctrl+w and ctrl+q shortcuts

Since Forecast uses only a single window, they should both just close the app

Adding a more detailed weather forecast for the next five days

I suggest adding a more detailed hourly forecast for five days, using an example of how it is implemented for today. To do this, I propose to logically divide the application window into two parts: Today and the Five-day forecast. This will make it more convenient to compose the elements (I will attach an approximate layout of the idea a little later). I also consider it necessary to add the ability to adjust the color (lighter or darker) of the glass substrates under the elements.

Gio.Settings.new

I searched the documentation but could figure it out. You have your own server and retrieve data from there? Because I want to do something similar

Uses UTC instead of the local timezone

Running the app from flathub, it seems that it uses UTC (ex: 02:54) instead of using the system's local time (ex: 22:54):

By the way, it might be worth being explicit with that label, and prefixing it with Last checked on ; maybe you could even put the refresh button directly next to that label?

Snap package served in the store from version `0.1.0` needs some changes in the main code

EDIT: This is for 0.2.2

The app is not able to find the icons, I guess the app still needs changes for snap

Make Forecast translatable

Hi, I'd like to translate Forecast to my native language.

Could you make it translatable.

Thanks.

Light text on light background

Is it possible to change the text colour to a darker colour if the weather is particularly bright, as the lack of contrast makes it difficult to read?

Other than that, I love the app :)

Help with translation into Russian

Hello, can I help you with translating the application into Russian?

Incorrect text aligment

The "Wind" row isn't properly aligned. Not sure much can be done about it without involving the GTK toolkit, as in the source code it's correctly aligned to the number of characters.

The misalignment is likely caused by the font not being monospace, but with different characters having different widths.

[Feature Request] Intagrate location into quick access like the offical gnome weather app?

This is what I mean

building locally/appimage?

if a user doesn't want to/can't install through flatpak, how can they build the app locally?

Weekly forecast chart breaks (cut off portions) under some conditions

I'm not sure how to explain this, but if you look at the temperature ranges bars shown in this screenshot's "Weekly forecast" section:

...you will see that the bar for Friday is cut off on the left side.

Similarly here, on the Monday row:

This is the flatpak version running on GNOME 45 with 1.00 font scaling.

Debian packaging

Hi! This is a beautiful app. But It does not provide a debian package yet. Do you have any plans for that?

I already have created a debian package. But for that the code had to be modified a bit. So, if needed I can create a PR in no time.

Waiting for newer version of gtk for new release

Hi all, first thanks for using my app. There is currently a bug with GTK 5917 which makes an app crash when removing an element from a Gtk.Stack linked with a Gtk.StackSidebar, and the problem is I already wrote the code for a more accurate forecast page which uses exactly that (and besides snap support is the only major addition, also it's too late to remove the new code). I made the decision to wait for a newer release of gtk that would resolve the bug to release a new version. I'm very sorry for the wait, it's not my fault.

What API is used?

The settings mention that another API key can be used, but for what API? This should be clear in the app.

Consider stacked interactive graphs to combine hourly and weekly views?

In #1 I see that you were looking for some feedback on the previous (and current) design.

One thing that I find a bit clunky with the current design is the modal aspect of it, where you have to switch between the main "Weekly forecast" view and the individual day view (with combobox-like switcher between days).

This is a long shot, but have you considered an interactive stacked charts approach as a way to unify all of this into a single UI?
A bit like what you'd find on the "10 days" forecast here for example:

I don't know if you'd find this approach worthwhile for this application, I'm just throwing the idea out here. This is the same kind of idea that I'm suggesting in amit9838/mousam#130.

Works too slow

Hi, i love that this new succession of meteo, but to me it is pretty slow on searching locations, so maybe is something related to python idk, but thanks anyways to redevelop the app!!

Merge similar locations

Apparently whatever API(s) you're using result in duplicates. If I have to take a guess, it could be caused by the different rows only differing by a few decimals. Perhaps add filter which removes the entries less than 0.001 apart?
