vkQuake.app works great on Apple silicon Macs.

Just went there to check it out, it opened the front page in Russian(?) for me, even though English was selected in the top right. I re-selected English, it refreshed the page... in Russian. Close tab.

But yeah, I agree with you.

+1, shame people are downvoting this.

+1, although I didn’t read it. Close tab.

Very ranty, I’m surprised it got this many upvotes.

I thought it was about windows as well :D

Can we stop upvoting these clumsily disguised adguard marketing posts? It’s annoying: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=adguard.com

An experimental weather forecast visualization app: https://brutalism.rs/project/itinerant/

Thank you, I appreciate it! :) There's https://kev.town/raymarching-toolkit/ but I haven't tried it. Looks promising!

No library, I wrote the SDF/raymarching shaders from scratch. But there are libraries out there...

I’m using DarkSky which gives you 1000 requests per day for free, and beyond that the pricing is quite reasonable.

I'm considering it!

Thanks! :) By all means do, we need more playful software if you ask me!

I'm not sure, although I developed this in Unity so I imagine it would be a lot of jumping through hoops to get there... (upvote for the pun :D)

Thanks! Yes I'm thinking about it!

Thanks! I would love to do an Android build but time and resources (e.g. devices to test on) are scarce. I haven't ruled it out though, let's see how the iOS version fares financially ;)

Thanks! I'm not sure what you mean by hourly forecasts, you can already swipe left/right to change the observed point in time?

That's a very valid point. One of the main reasons for introducing a new visual language (apart from purely artistic ones) was to intentionally inject a dose of ambiguity into the readings. Our existing visual systems (words, numbers) are implying preciseness which is not always there with weather forecasts (it is decreasing the further away you go from the current point in time), and I was trying to break away from that.

I've updated the article to be more clear about the existence of the auxiliary interface. Thanks for the comment, super useful!

I see your point. The article doesn’t explain everything, inside the app there’s a “helper menu” that you can summon by tapping the screen and there you can see the actual exact temperature, precipitation, and wind intensity values (as numbers). They are sliders you can play around with, and are crucial in “training your eye” as to what the “brownish mass” actually maps to.
