I just realized my last 3 posts are about mastodon feed scrolling. I swear I'm not obsessed with it, it is just an annoyance I'd like resolved.

Annoyance-based development is kind of a theme for me. And it's why I also have an almost-mvp iOS weather app because weather apps don't let me track what I want to track.

Weather Date is a location+date based weather app. Track the weather for important upcoming events.

I just don't know if it's ready. So how do you know?

@jgcaruso it never is and you never know. You just have to ship to know 😉

@jgcaruso that is an amazing idea! I’d use it to plan what I’m gonna wear for outdoor events. Imagine this with calendar integration and widgets? 🤯
Sign me up for Testflight 🚀

@lucas thanks for the vote! And yes I do have widgets in mind but haven't thought much about calendar integration. Curious what you'd like to see in that respect? I guess just avoiding having to do double entry?

I'll keep you in mind when I get test flight set up.

@jgcaruso All I can tell you is that you are not alone 😀

I don’t know how many Mastodon clients I tried and discarded because they wouldn’t remember the last scroll/reading position and would insist on reloading the whole feed and taking you to the top … Once I found one that I actually liked, I had to tweak it (it was open source) till it worked for me.

Now I’m doing it again since I found one tiny flaw in the last Mastodon client and so want something better but couldn’t be bothered to modify that one 😛

I get you about the weather apps too. I was in the midst of adding weather info to an all-in-one timer/alarm app that I was coding but that got put on the back burner due to other apps that I just “had to have” … I’ll probably get back to that at some point, but probably after I get the Mastodon client done.
