Show HN: iOS14 weather (METAR) widgets for pilots

Very cool! Everything looks great. The first widget I&#x27;m actually going to use.<p>When iOS 14 came out, I was disappointed when ForeFlight didn&#x27;t have something like this ready.<p>Riffing on ideas:<p>It&#x27;d be cool if the wind direction in the smart view was relative to your phone&#x27;s orientation. I&#x27;m also imagining a little rendering of a runway and a windsock. TAFs would be a cool and challenging next step? A widget that&#x27;d some how give an idea of the latest surface analysis?

Hi all! This was a side project I worked on over the last few months while learning to fly in South Dakota. I learned a lot about working with Widgets and SwiftUI, and I hope to do a writeup on those soon. Feel free to ask me anything, and if you&#x27;re a pilot I hope you take it for a spin!

Congrats on the new PPL!<p>I love the app so far - but it would be amazing if the widget was location aware and could grab the METAR for the nearest reporting airport (that might be some work, but doable)<p>Thanks again and put all that App Store proceeds to good taildragger time! ;)

Not including age of information &#x2F; timestamp seems risky

Just to be a pain... as an instrument-rated pilot could the widget have the cloud heights on it visually? Maybe the top of the widget is 5,000 feet or something.

Looks cool! As a non-pilot, I would be really interested in learning what this does.

Nice! Bought it. Cool!
