Hi Everybody
I wanted to share with you a project that I have been working on over the past few weeks: Ocula.
Ocula is a free PWA weather app wri...

Well done Andrew, the app is really smooth and I like the design 🚀
Regarding UX it was really straight forward, never lost track and the on-boarding process was clear.
Only point I did not get are the numbers in the daily forecast but, I am not that into weather forecast so it is probably just because I don't know these.
Congratulations and super cool that you open sourced it, starred ⭐
P.S.: I mean these numbers, just in case.
Hi David, thanks for the feedback - I really appreciate it.
That's a really good point to raise. Those numbers indicate the daily low and high temperature. I really struggled with this part of the design because on larger screens I can just put a min or max label next to it but on mobile there's very little room to play with here.
If you have suggestions on how to make these numbers easier to understand I would really appreciate it.
Thanks again for your support and feedback!
Oh I see. Don't know if it would works with any units but adding
°would make it more clearer to me and maybe "7° 14°" doesn't need much spaces?While testing again I something else. In "Settings", when I change the "Units" the app ask me again if I am agree to share my location. Not sure how it is related.
Hope that helps a bit.
Such an amazing app. I am myself planning to make a weather PWA for sometime now and this is motivating. Its such a neat app. I loved how Hourly Forecast graphs smoothly transition between the three categories.
How long did it take for you to build this?
Hi Kedar, thanks for your feedback. That's great - you should do it! It's taken me about 2 months so far. It's taking me a little longer to get anything done because I only work on it about 4-6 hours a week given that I work full-time and have various other commitments. I'm hoping to work on it more regularly in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately, for me, I can't get it to properly load. Using Chrome I see the following console error
Hi Ross, thanks for letting me know. I'll have a look into it.
No worries. Possibly related but it asks for permission to use my location and when granted it doesn't seem to actually manage to determine a forecast
Suuuuper! Here is my weather application, but on React, I wonder, can I apply for the Junior position with this
skills level? So far, for some reason, there have been only refusals :(

Refusal doesn't mean you don't have potential it simply means to keep improving & trying. Mean while you can build a chat app with 1-to-1 chat box like facebook chat. Another is notes taking app with some cool transitions etc.
Oh cool ! Added to favorites websites 🙌🏼
Really cool and love the feel! Good stuff!
Great job, can you share what CSS libraries or framework you used for UI design
Hi Lakhveer, thank you for your kind words. I'm probably a little old-fashioned in this sense but I don't use any CSS frameworks - I write everything myself :)
Looks really good 👍
Amazing, love it!
Nice job ,
