Thx bro. I stumbled into this thread thinking it was about something else, and left with a new favorite weather bookmark.
Nice things:
- Loads fast
- Nice vis of both today and week
- Can mouse over the visualizations to get precise readouts.

This is neat, but I find the charts extremely hard to parse due to the color gradients and the similar shades, especially of blue and teal. I find the Merry Sky charts a lot easier to understand.
Thanks for the feedback. You helped make my app more readable (I went a little overboard on the gradients; I thought the gradients would help convey the sky condition):
- Now most gradients are disabled by default. (toggle here: https://weather-sense.leftium.com/wmo-codes)
- Also added shadow/glow to plot lines so they "pop out" more.
I'm not sure which parts you think are blue and teal. Open to suggestions for better colors! (There are only so many colors, and I like keeping the precipitation related colors all bluish.)
Perhaps I should add an option to disable gradients.
There's a screen shot showing what it used to look like before gradients: https://github.com/Leftium/weather-sense
