I left my job last year to work on this. A few days ago I released the first version I believe is worth spreading the word about. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it!

So I've been using the app for an hour or so now, and I like it! I don't really understand how this music has changed with the weather (mine is 'clear' at the moment, so maybe not the best representation). However, I like the fact that I can choose a genre and it'll shuffle songs, and that I can choose whether or not I want to see the video. It's kind of like Pandora, but with videos. Or like youtube, without the ads in between songs. Nice interface!
Thanks for trying! The type of music it plays goes beyond just it being clear outside. It also factors in things like humidity, precipitation, wind speed, time of day, time of year etc. If it hot and humid out, its likely to play more peaceful music, but if its clear with a bit of a chill, could be energetic/gritty etc. But again, if its morning, it'll probably try and play music not as energetic, but slowly ramp up as the day progresses. Glad you're enjoying it!
That's actually super cool. I tried it when it was raining, and it was on point. I probably wouldn't use it as my primary music app (because I subscribe to Spotify premium), but I would definitely use it from time-to-time!
Thanks! I definitely put in a l to of time making sure it picked the right moods.
