Try Pumble. We switched years ago.

How about reporting on yesterday's weather? Its hard to plan a walk in the forest today if I dont know how much it rained yesterday.


In the app, you can swipe backwards in time and see the reports and data for yesterday.

I'm having this problem right now, trying to plan some nice long walks out of the city but it's been raining a lot lately. I'd love some kind of map of flooding/muddy conditions, but I don't think it would be feasible without a massive effort (as whether an area is prone to flooding or turning into a mudbath after rain depends on a lot of factors).


This is exactly what Precip does. Other apps just show the past forecast which can often be wrong. The Precip app uses radar to measure what actually happened so you'll know if that trail is muddy or not. https://precip.ai

mentioned this elsewhere, but https://zoom.earth/ handles that ... (I've got nothing to do with them btw... I just think it's good)

One of the main features of my weather app is yesterday's weather: https://weather-sense.leftium.com

Weather history sounds like a awesome feature. Sort of like a farmers almanac built into a modern weather app?

CARROT has this and it’s amazing! You can “time travel” back as far as you want. Absurdly far, even. I can tell you that it was 20 degrees in my town on Jan 1st, 1940.

Carrot Weather’s most expensive subscriptions include 30-day history.

Can't wait to test the quality. Looks really practical fir digital nomads.


Please let us know what you think after.


We switched to Pumble years ago for price, longer data retention & more consistency.


What a great story teller! Well done Alex.


Classic!


Starting a business selling software is actually a big job. Even giving code away with OpenSource licensing brings liability risks.

You'll need to find a business model that pays enough to keep your product going.

Maybe you need a suite of micro tools, sold as a single package, that can earn enough to pay for the business costs.


Have there been court cases where developers have been held liable for faults in FOSS code despite the language of the licenses?


What liability risk does opensource licencing have ?


Very cool. Especially as it a real map not a 'network diagram' who is so confusing.


The map API used is somehow very good. I just discovered https://www.maptiler.com/company/


Peter, I'm curious as to the easiest way for Australian founders to get a long stay visa and work permit for the US while working for their own (Delaware) company?


For Australians, even Australian founders, it's always worth looking at the E-3; this is even truer now that USCIS has said that under certain circumstances founders can get H-1B visas (and the E-3 is similar to the H-1B). The other options for Australian founders are the E-1 or E-2 treaty visa or the O-1 visa but these take a lot longer to prepare and are much more expensive than the E-3. But if you are inclined to explore the E-3 path as a founder, then absolutely consult with an attorney who has handled E-3s for founders (and there are lots of attorneys who handle visas for Australian founders).


thank you


You're right. Most accountants make their money from local businesses. And global accounting firms charge the earth. It's easier to separate You're bookkeeping from your (expensive) accountants who are better set for strategic advice.
