Ask HN: Rate my Startup

I think that you should do by default like <a href="http://geoipweather.com" rel="nofollow">http://geoipweather.com</a> , and optionally ask for another ZIP and timezone, for a start. Then why would you limit yourself to US and Canada? Weather.com works worldwide. Third, don't nag me : you don't need any info other than an email, and there is exactly 0% chance I give my phone number to some random website. More info, more hassle, less signup.

It is an interesting idea.<p>That being said, I feel like you can't charge people for what you provide. I think it is too much of a limiting factor for the user. Personally, my mind turned off after I looked at pricing. I checked the rest of the site but it was over once I knew you were charging me.<p>People expect a service like this to be free. It's Chacha vs. KGB, only you don't have the millions that KGB spends on marketing.<p>That's just my opinion as a member of the freemium or steal-me-sum generation.<p>This post is about how non-subscription services make money:<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1716778" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1716778</a>. I hope it helps.<p>Cheers!

What do you tell people with a bookmark for a weather forecast site in their mobile browser when they ask you why they should use your service instead?

It's nice that you accept Canadian postal codes, but you might want to give us the weather in Celcius :)<p>That said, "bring a coat" is more common advice than "bring an umbrella" so I might switch from <a href="http://umbrellatoday.com" rel="nofollow">http://umbrellatoday.com</a>
