Merry Sky looks great. You've really captured that nice line between detail and 'at-a-glance' that made Dark Sky a pleasure to use. Thanks!

On my Desktop, I use accuweather and occasionally https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/ - among so many others. None really gave me a UI that I felt comfortable using. Always clicking to get additional data or overloaded with non-vital information.

On Android - after the Dark Sky fiasco - I settled on Yr[0] eventually.

Merry Sky looks poised to replace my Desktop weather links already (I use my own local custom home page). On Android, the (home icon) link leads to a really nice looking "Android App". Yr will be harder to replace but Merry Sky has already found a home here (just need time to verify its accuracy).

Thanks, I'm really shooting for that sweet spot on information density. I think it's in a good shape to be shared now but I'll be iterating on it based on feedback and my own ideas going forward.

Yr looks really nice too but I don't carry a droid day to day.

I'd like to keep merrysky as a lightweight alternative on the web and have the same experience regardless of the platform/OS
