Contributions / 'WeatherScan' like app now in beta preview
« on: January 07, 2020, 10:07:04 AM »
Hello all!
I wanted to introduce myself and a project I've been working on that I think you all might be interested in. I checked with the admin here before posting and in no way mean this as spam. I'm hoping for your honest feedback.
I have been heartbroken to see what TWC has done with the LOT8s and the discontinuation of WeatherScan (for the most part) and wanted a replacement. So two of us spent the last year working in our spare time on developing something similar without being an emulator. It has the feel of WeatherScan but uses no copyrighted materials at all and adds some features they didn't have.
It's called ivuWeather (pronounced 'I View Weather') and it features:
I'd be very anxious to hear this group's thoughts on the project. If you'd like instructions for how to test it on your FireTV device (we will be launching as an app there) please sign up at http://www.ivuweather.com and instructions will be sent right away.
If you'd rather just preview it on the web you can visit http://app.ivuweather.com/index.html and enter your zip code.
It's still somewhat a work in process but we feel we are nearing completion. Please let us know what you think. We're dedicated to making this a viable alternative for those of us who miss being able to see the weather in this format.
Thanks in advance!
