I finally shipped a version of my side project I’m comfortable promoting

Alongside fixing the backend issues, I also just shipped a new version of The Weather Recap that I’m genuinely comfortable putting in front of people. I originally launched a bare-bones version of this app a while ago, but I never really felt good about it. Over the holidays, I took the time to rebuild it into something clearer, more consistent, and much closer to the original idea.

The latest version adds clearer overview tables, a past-24-hour hourly view of actual conditions, forecast-vs-actual accuracy charts, and exportable tables for anyone who wants to dig deeper. I also added a small, optional monetization layer: ads by default, with a one-time ad removal option and a tip jar. No subscriptions, no locked features — just a way for people who find it useful to support it.

This is still very much a side project, even though I've spent so much time on this (probably at the behest of my real job). If nothing else, it’s been a good reminder that shipping something you’re proud of often takes longer than shipping something that merely works.
