I was checking the rain forecast today and I had to scroll through three ads and a "top 10" article just to see the temperature. Am I the only one who misses when apps were just simple tools?
I’m tired of weather apps that try to be everything for everyone, resulting in a cluttered mess of ads and useless data.
I have this idea for a Minimalist Modular Weather App. The core experience is just the basics (Temp, Rain, 7-day forecast) with a clean UI. But, you can "snap-in" specific modules based on what you actually do:
The Surf Module: Swell height, period, and tide charts.
The Fishing Module: Barometric pressure trends and solunar data.
The Solar Module: Real-time UV index and cloud opacity for PV panel efficiency.
The Rule: If you don’t toggle the module, it’s like it doesn't exist. No bloat.
The goal: One app that stays simple for daily use, but becomes a professional tool when you’re heading to the beach, the lake, or checking your solar grid.
What do you think? 1. Would you prefer this over having 3 different specialized apps?
I'm looking for feedback before starting the dev process. Thanks!
