Weather Machine - Magical modern weather APIs for humans | Product Hunt

Hey everyone! Today we’re excited to announce Weather Machine, a powerful developer tool that greatly simplifies integrating weather data into your application.

If you’ve ever tried to use a weather API, you probably already know the challenges. Weather APIs are notoriously complicated—every vendor offers their own proprietary data structures and request formats, and they vary in performance, price, accuracy, and reliability. Sometimes services disappear or get shut down entirely. It’s complex, time-consuming, and expensive to work with these systems, which distracts from the main thing you’re trying to do: building a great app!

With Weather Machine, you can write just one integration for your app and get highly accurate global forecasts from The Weather Company, AccuWeather, AerisWeather, and many other reputable sources. It’s drop-in compatible with Dark Sky's API formats, so you can switch over in minutes. And it includes an advanced forecast-aware caching system, which can cut your data usage up to 50%, saving you money without sacrificing any speed or accuracy.

Since the Dark Sky API is shutting down soon, we’re running an introductory promo period for Weather Machine: you can sign up and use it entirely for free through March 31, 2023. (You’ll also need to have a paid account with the provider(s) you choose to use in lieu of Dark Sky.)

Wow! Fantastic work on getting Weather Machine on Product Hunt! 😉 I'm going to give this product a shot. I just wanna ask you a thing. What do you think makes it stand out from the competition?

Hey @jonasdowney ! The product looks very promising, considering how much friction we usually have with API providers. Do you have any extra processing on your side? For instance, handing the timeframes on the weather radar layers?

What's new, makers ? 🤚 Kudos on getting your project on Product Hunt! 🔥 I love what you make! I've only got a single question. How long have you been developing this?
