Best weather app I’ve used. FOSS but unlike most FOSS weather apps, it doesn’t FEEL like your typical FOSS alternative.

So it doesn’t feel better than the typical bloated half working must pay now and “sacrifice your first born” app?

In my experience, FOSS apps are not the alternative, they are what any app should be. They look, feel and work better than any paid app, yet people continue to call them “alternatives”

My favorite feature is the 1-row weekly weather widget for my home screen. I have that next to its 1x1 widget for everything I want at a glance using minimal space.

yeah maybe i’m dumb, but for example in the put a few cities widget they offer, I don’t seem to have the option to show for example air pollution instead of temperature. Bummer.
