It is really cool. I don't think I've seen a weather app like it. Works great on Chrome + desktop. Great job. One small feature idea is showing the most hot and cold places at any one time. I love it!

I've worked a lot with weather data in the past (and I still am), and I have to appreciate all the work that went into this. Weather model data is notoriously messy with many different formats and standards, and then I'm not even talking about radar data, etc. Probably when you've got this all abstracted away behind an API it is easier to build such a powerful application as this.

This is awesome and very fast especially given all the data displayed!

Xweather Live is an ad-free vector weather map built to showcase our weather APIs. It's a fun app with lots of data layers and features.
Feedback welcome!

Sorry if this sounds harsh but this looks similar to commercial weather services in terms of the types of layers. How does this actually work?
Did you manage to track down their other services’ providers and negotiate access?

Beautiful, brings back memories of Dark Sky & forecast.io

Cool idea, but this took about 15 seconds to load for me and then lagged very hard, especially while zooming. So I wasn't able to use it very much before getting frustrated enough to exit the page.

Animating global weather patterns is super cool. It’s wild to see everything move around and ebb and flow. Neat site!

Can someone explain how wind can spiral in to a point? Where does the air "go"? Or does this create a higher pressure?

It looks really cool, but all the numbers jiggle around when I pan the map on my phone (Android, Chrome)

Neat. Overlay city labels are doubled-up over map tile city labels?

really cool, but the search field doesn't update the map after I type in a new location. (safari Version 26.3 (21623.2.7.11.6))
