FediMeteo brings real-time weather updates to the Fediverse, covering cities across Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands (with more regions coming soon!).

Using the power of ActivityPub and the simplicity of snac, FediMeteo posts accurate forecasts and updates directly to your favorite social platform.

Incidentally, FediMeteo uses the existing Open-Meteo API. The use case is just... you can follow your nearest city on Mastodon and get forecasts in your home feed?

If it works as a basic post bot I guess there's something to that, just seems and odd extra step when you're already using a phone/computer that likely already has some kind of weather widget built in.

I followed my city's feed so that I am regularly reminded of the weather and don't have to actively check a source for it. Let's see how long I follow it.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
