I really dig the simplicity - in the app and in use. We have a dynamic IP that's not even remotely tied to our location (Hughes Net Satellite) and so it seems to get reset every time we get a new IP. Any way to implement some cookie to save the zip code?
The 'helvetica' included with nearly all X servers is a terrible bitmap that maxes out at 16pt. Some windows installations also have a similar crapfest.
I recommend using font-family:"helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif;
This would make a perfect Iphone app. If you aren't going to make it, would you mind if I did?
i'm not sure how it would really be an app; the page renders fine on mobile safari so couldn't you just add the bookmark to the home screen? i could probably add a apple-touch-icon.png file so it has an icon instead of a crop of the webpage.
you should also have a "what should i wear today" with either a long/short shirt, jeans/shorts, and yes coat/no coat. less work i need to do :p

Where do you get the data?
maxmind for the ip geolocation, google for the weather
simple and neat. Great app.
- The weather details could be a slightly more bold.
- It is not intuitive to press enter when i click to change the location though.
- Does a google gadget exist for this so that i can put this on my iGoogle page?
i made it one day after being annoyed with all the junk on weather.com. i just wanted a simple answer whether it was going to rain so i knew which car i could drive that day.
