Thanks! I would love to do an Android build but time and resources (e.g. devices to test on) are scarce. I haven't ruled it out though, let's see how the iOS version fares financially ;)

Thanks! I'm not sure what you mean by hourly forecasts, you can already swipe left/right to change the observed point in time?

That's a very valid point. One of the main reasons for introducing a new visual language (apart from purely artistic ones) was to intentionally inject a dose of ambiguity into the readings. Our existing visual systems (words, numbers) are implying preciseness which is not always there with weather forecasts (it is decreasing the further away you go from the current point in time), and I was trying to break away from that.

I've updated the article to be more clear about the existence of the auxiliary interface. Thanks for the comment, super useful!

I see your point. The article doesn’t explain everything, inside the app there’s a “helper menu” that you can summon by tapping the screen and there you can see the actual exact temperature, precipitation, and wind intensity values (as numbers). They are sliders you can play around with, and are crucial in “training your eye” as to what the “brownish mass” actually maps to.

Is this a joke? This just pans the audio from left to right. People are (choosing my words carefully) easy to please these days.

Both of those services are free of charge. What did people think was going to happen? I really don't get the huge amount of paranoia these stories have been generating recently. You're using an SaaS platform, so yes, they have your data. "Your data" is literally their business model.

Thank you. I am yet to focus my efforts on a specific toolchain, so that I can start giving back to the community via libraries. So far, I've mostly done a project or two on any given toolchain before I decided to switch. The most I've done in this regard has been my assorted collection of helpers for Unity – https://github.com/BRUTALISM/Alat

But more than that (and this is mainly the reason I'm writing these things), I'd like to raise awareness of the process of creating meaningful procedural art. I'm seeing lots of people visualizing very simple mathematical transformations and settling there, which is a shame really. Maybe because the discipline is so technically demanding, I'm not sure.
