Weather Scene

📜 Description

A weather app that aims to be visually interesting when launched - showing the user an animated scene of their current conditions. It provides a focused subset of weather information, reducing clutter and surfacing what matters most.

💡 Motivation and Context

I have an existing open source Android weather app called Socket Weather that informed much of the design of this prototype. That app is quite minimalist, so I used this exercise as an opportunity to make something with a little more flair. (As well as learn Compose!)

At the time I made this, the city I live in (Melbourne) has started to turn some nice autumn colours. This made me wonder if I could display the conditions in the app somehow, and remind people that we have the opposite season in the southern hemisphere! I'm especially proud of how the blowing leaves turned out, as well as the implementation of the temperature graph.
