Over the past few weeks, I was experimenting with tab bar designs and got so much great feedback from friends. Turns out, the standard iOS tab bar is great! With a single tap, users can now switch between the current weather, their saved locations, and maps. #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/4

Can we talk about how cool it is that projects like www.eumetnet.eu exist?! 🇪🇺

Oscar finally has a proper onboarding flow! I've already teased the personal hand-written note, but now you're also walked through the features and all necessary permission requests. I think it's really neat and offers users a first taste of what they can expect! #BuiltInPublic #IndieDev #Swift 🧵1/5

Thought adding a personal, handwritten note to the upcoming onboarding flow is a nice little touch. 👀☀️

Oscar now ships with a reworked map! 🗺️ 🥳 Weather layers are now crisp, performant, and morph smoothly (Metal🤘 shaders FTW). For users in North America, Oscar's infrastructure now consumes @nws.noaa.gov's MRMS product to provide a high-resolution radar layer and rain notifications. 🧵 1/6

Many cities across Europe set new heat records this weekend. I used the time to add a new climate section to Oscar that puts the current day into historical context by comparing it to the same date going back to 1940! The visualization is heavily inspired by Ed Hawkins’ Warming Stripes.

Finally got around to add moon phases 🌚 and a few more cool things like ensemble forecasts, weather model selection, EU-wide rain radar, and custom app icons. 🧵 (1/X)

Hey 👋 I've been working for quite some time on a new weather app called Oscar! It's still in active development but I'd love to get some more eyes and feedback on it. So if you're into weather, feel free to join my TestFlight: testflight.apple.com/join/xf5iJcHh
