About a year ago WeatherSpark got rid of their very useful dashboard - I particularly liked being able to see a combination of temperature and rain per hour for the next week.<p>There didn&#x27;t seem to be an alternative (and there was a Reddit discussion full of people with the same problem) so I started making one.<p>It took me a year, but it&#x27;s finally up and has its own domain and everything.<p>It uses the weather report API from Dark Sky, Google&#x27;s chart API, free icons from Freepik and the free tier of Google App Engine. About the only thing I&#x27;m paying for is the domain name.<p>Because I&#x27;m using the Google chart API I&#x27;m limited in how much I can customize how it looks, but it&#x27;s not too different from what I wanted.<p>If it sucks please let me know why :)
