What It Does
Your E-Ink Meteorologist
Stop forgetting to go to the beach. Beach Day yells at you using e-ink to remind you to get off your couch and head to the sand.
The Instant Verdict
High-contrast hero panels that don't mince words. You'll get a clear "Beach Day", "Rainy Day", or a meh "Hoodie Day.”
Ridiculously High Standards
We're picky. The app runs strict checks—temps over 74°F, rain chances under 20%, and winds below 16 mph. Because sandblasting is for construction, not relaxation.
Vampire Prevention
Automatically calculates sunrise and sunset, failing the beach check if you've got less than an hour of daylight left. No arriving in the dark.
The Receipts
A detailed breakdown with pass/fail icons showing exactly which metric ruined your beach plans today.
Under the Hood
I built Beach Day to cure my own decision fatigue. Nobody wants to scroll through five days of hourly forecasts just to decide if they should hit the sand. Here’s how I filter out mediocre weather:
1. The Goldilocks Algorithm
Using Liquid templating, it ruthlessly judges the raw API data against our core comfort limits. If the wind is howling at 17 mph or the temp drops to 73°F, it pulls the plug on the beach.
2. Reading the Room
Because numbers can be deceiving, the app also scans the actual text of the detailed forecast. It actively hunts for the word "sunny" to give the green light, while hitting the panic button if it spots buzzkills like "shower," "drizzle," or "thunderstorm.”
3. Painting the Screen
Once the verdict is in, the template serves up snappy, hand-crafted SVG icons and scales the split-panel layout natively for e-ink. High contrast, zero clutter, and immaculate vibes.
