@MuseumShuffle seems like so many apps ignore dynamic type settings.
It’s fun to see apps that do a great job: #PleaseDontRain & Pedometer++
P++ has a custom big tab bar! 👍 @_Davidsmith

I was really confused as to why each entry in the Y axis labels was 0. Turns out it's REALLY tiny amounts and enough significant digits weren't allowed.
In this scenario the iOS Weather app will show a blank chart even though the percent chance chart shows a 5% chance for several hours.

After reading this section of the Apple docs I was experimenting with the Increase Contrast setting.
What's confusing me is that in light mode (best mode) with Increase Contrast turned on a regular TextField gets a much darker gray background color, which makes it less legible.
I have the ability to set the background color manually, but it feels like I'm missing something. 🤔

It's absolutely wild when you've been working on an app for a long time and go back and look at your work.
I got a photo memory that left screenshot of @PleaseDontRain is from two years ago today.
It's so bare boned. 😳

Spotted a problem with .textInputAutocapitalization(.words) in a SwiftUI TextField.
It will auto capitalize each word UNLESS you start using swipe typing. Then it doesn’t.
Thanks to @RobW for asking me to add to add this feature. That led me spot this.

I had completely forgotten that you can add .gradient to a SwiftUI Color until Vincent Pradeilles mentioned it in his talk for iOS Dev Happy Hour.
I think I'm going to spruce up my buttons.

Putting the final touches on the next release of @PleaseDontRain that I've been working on the last few weeks.
Very happy with how it's turned out.

It can be quite a challenge getting everything to fit into iPad Slide Over mode.
I added a description to the wind chart popover and realized that wasn't going to fly with accessibility sizes.
I clamp down the max size with .dynamicTypeSize() in that scenario but let it be bigger otherwise.

Spotted some more time zone weirdness.
I noticed that the day I was looking at in Oslo had a chart axis label stride by count of 5 hours (bottom) instead of the expected 4. All of the other days were normal.
What's different about this day? It's March 30, when they "spring forward" and use DST. ⏰🌞

Got a tip from @zach that there's another accessibility font called Atkinson Hyperlegible that was worth taking a look at it. It's "designed to improve legibility and readability for individuals with low vision".
It's going in! So my next release adds support for OpenDyslexic, Lexend, and Atkinson Hyperlegible.
Thanks Zach!

It's already been two years of Please Don't Rain.
Today's 5.5 release adds a visibility chart.
Shared forecast details now include artwork (if you want).
Plus various UI improvements.
Thank you for supporting the app!

I realized there's a problem with my recent change for nearby days.
I adjust the date with ViewThatFits and have been able to squeeze in more precipitation stats by doing that. But on days with snow *and* rain the heavy font weight that indicates today was making them not fit.
Medium weight to the rescue!

I was asked by King @thillsman why there wasn't a way to include the weather image with the forecast details you can share from @PleaseDontRain .

When you use Siri to turn on VoiceOver the dialog present does not go away when you start interacting with the screen.
Also, the switch button says you can use it to turn off VO but interacting with it doesn't toggle and instead takes you to Settings.

After spending so long on adding Image Playground support to @PleaseDontRain it feels nice to add another weather theme that my sister drew.
Here's "Butterflies". 🦋

For Light Mode (best mode) I'd like to have a symbol like this have the cloud as an outline but the sun symbol be filled.
This solution I came up where I overlay the same symbol with different parts being clear seems to work.
Are there any gotchas that I'm not thinking of?

I am updating the @PleaseDontRain welcome splash screens for Image Playground support and once again ScreenFrames by @charliemchapman is saving my life.

Giving the chart for the UV Index in Please Don't Rain some much needed attention.
While the chart showed five categories (low, moderate, high, very high, extreme) there were only three colors used (low, medium, high). Now there are configurable colors for every category.
Also added a legend.

Last week I kept taking screenshots of the wind chart in Please Don't Rain, cropping them, and sending them via iMessage.
Also that week valued user @thillsman sent me a feature request asking for a way to share a chart.
Something I hadn't thought of when I was doing something similar over and over. 🤦🏻♂️
In the next release every chart will have sharing functionality.

I saw a post (not directed towards me) on Threads saying that a Settings option like this would be appreciated.
I thought it was a great idea and I'm adding it to Please Don't Rain right now.
It lets you completely block AI images from appearing.
The majority of images in the app were drawn by my sister and her images are the default. But you couldn't use the "random images" option if you didn't want AI images to appear. Now you can.

Hurricane Helene made me realize that there is a glaring omission with Please Don't Rain. Users can't track what the wind speeds will be during each part of the day.
I'm hoping to push this wind chart to the App Store this weekend.

My sister drew this artwork for the App Store in-app event Please Don't Rain had for when support for iPadOS was added.
It was too cute not to use again. 🐸

There was much confusion until I realized that when you pick a Control Center widget in iOS 18 it DOES show the .displayName of the ControlWidget when you pick it. But when you increase the size of the widget it does NOT. It will show the label for the ControlWidgetButton instead.

Originally my plan for Please Don't Rain's iOS / iPadOS 18 widgets in tinted mode was to just make them all be the tint color.
I got really inspired by how pretty @harshil made his widgets in tinted mode and decided to go all in with stylizing them.
Pretty happy with my progress so far.

I took the arrow buttons that are in Please Don't Rain and also made them into Lock Screen buttons. 🤪
Watch the lock screen widgets change as the buttons update the tracked day to be one day less or one day more.
Leave it to me to leave things like this until the last minute. 🫣
