aamana··on Show HN: A weather forecasting app that plays the right tunes for your weather
Thanks! I definitely put in a l to of time making sure it picked the right moods.

Thanks for trying! The type of music it plays goes beyond just it being clear outside. It also factors in things like humidity, precipitation, wind speed, time of day, time of year etc. If it hot and humid out, its likely to play more peaceful music, but if its clear with a bit of a chill, could be energetic/gritty etc. But again, if its morning, it'll probably try and play music not as energetic, but slowly ramp up as the day progresses. Glad you're enjoying it!

I left my job last year to work on this. A few days ago I released the first version I believe is worth spreading the word about. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it!

That was definitely in the plans when I started doing this, but as it started to take a while to complete, I dropped that feature for now. If there's any traction with the app, I still plan on adding that.

I also would like to have a more robust weather forecast, the ability to choose multiple genres, and to have the option to either use the default youtube video player, or choose to use apple music as the source if you subscribe to it.

Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you very much. I put a lot of time into it.

I basically just started reading tutorials I found online. I would decide what I want the app to do and look for tutorials or examples from github that do what I was looking for and either walk through the tutorial, or try and reverse engineer the examples I found. I'm not sure that was the most efficient way to do it, I def went down some wrong paths and took me a bit longer than I had anticipated because of it.

Well, I'm using a service that lets you create individualized 'stations' that persist. Every time you listen to a song, it is registered and theoretically it should not play the same songs for a while at least. I also have some randomness in the api call every time a new playlist is set up to try and prevent repeats happening. Having said that...its a work in progress, I sometimes do get repeats, but am working to get better results.

Thank you! I hate scroll jacking too. It wasn't doing it in safari and I should have checked her browsers. I removed the js that was doing that, should be normal now. Thanks for pointing it out!

Seems to be happening more and more often with people.

I spent the last few months learning how to code and making weatherTunes. Its an app that takes your surrounding weather conditions and makes a playlist that fits the current mood created by the weather. Check it out, and if your up to it, would love to get feedback!
