Weather App

Description

Weather app that texts users if it will rain at a specified time.

Screenshots

Coming soon!

Background

This application seeks to fulfill a specific need: remind people if they need to bring their umbrella with them to work in the morning based on the weather forecast.

Features

  • Harnessed the Forecast.io API for gathering real-time user-specific weather data
  • Used the Twilio API to send text messages to users
  • Built Sidkiq workers to handle text message on sign up and Heroku scheduler for texting users according to their time preference
  • Implemented OAuth 1.1 to allow users to login through their Twitter account

Usage

Users sign up and receive a text message only if the weather forecast calls for rain.

Development/Contribution

Tests will be written.

Future

  • Full test coverage
  • Better server integration
  • Allow users to text a number to receive current weather updates
  • More accurate weather tracking
