The Dark Sky weather app was a data viz masterpiece (now apple weather) that felt the same. Dashboard in your pocket that was motivating to look at 5 times a day
Oo nice to meet another fan of Dark Sky! I'm actually working on a detailed blog post geeking out on the design & viz comparison between Dark Sky and Apple Weather :)
Nice! I don't have an iphone so I have to settle for "weather apps inspired by darksky" nowdays... I have ventusky on my android, but there seems to me many others nowdays both for web and phones. Link me to your post when it's out, I'd love to see it because I've forgotten a lot about the designs now
