Whoa that’s really cool! Also are you using some kind of IP to location? Was impressed you got my city right without needing location access

Edit: also super impressed by how fast the “shadow layers” are calculated. I’m in Switzerland and people here will love this ... knowing exactly when you’ll get sun in a valley is super useful. This might be something you could sell to people like search.ch - they could combine with the weather at meteo.search.ch - if you want an introduction say the word




I do use an IP to geo database. It puts you in NYC if the IP is unrecognized.

I checked out search.ch. Looks like a great add to Weather Animations section. I’ll try reaching out to you via Twitter. In the meantime please share with anyone who finds it useful. I use it for hiking and snow conditions myself!
