New app: Yesterday, an iPhone app for yesterday's weather
20 days ago
- The app 'Yesterday' compares today's weather to yesterday's, using visual cues like solid lines for today and dashed lines for yesterday.
- It includes AI-generated text descriptions and a dark mode toggle with moon phase display.
- The app was created because the author found numerical temperatures too abstract; remembering yesterday's weather is easier for planning.
- The author noticed a shift in interest: instead of downloading his app, people now show enthusiasm by saying they built their own similar app.
- This indicates that software has changed forever, with more need for APIs and reliable databases, and a protocol for discovering and sharing personal apps.
- The author muses on systems that avoid steady state, e.g., an automated savings account that forces increasing savings.
