Hi Adam, this is a fascinating post, thanks for writing it! I'm Jacob, of PressureNet, and in fact Dark Sky is the reason I'm still building weather software! You beat me to consumer-focused radar postprocessing (I was working on this using McGill's radar data in 2010, and stopped when you launched) and you did a really good job - such a good job I took a look around and started collecting barometric pressure data in a new attempt at making the best hyperlocal weather forecast! You and your team are inspiring. :)

I'd be thrilled to talk about your data API and forecast tech, especially if you're considering working with phone sensors to improve your forecast models. I'm [email protected], have a look at http://pressurenet.io if you're interested.

Thanks for building great products and writing great posts!

CEO of Riskpulse here. I've been through all of the monetization trenches for weather software and we are now capitalizing on real demand in B2B/enterprise. If either of you guys ever want to connect to talk shop or (in)formally partner or share ideas, let me know: [email protected]
