Special Notice:
In light of Hewlett-Packard’s announcement that HP will be terminating its ‘WebOS device operations,’ combined with HP’s failure to release WebOS 2.x for my Pre Plus and a general ongoing pattern of mismanagement of the platform, I have terminated all support for No-Nonsense Weather for HP WebOS effective August 31, 2011.
Jonathan Dale has picked up No-Nonsense Weather development; it now lives on as Clear Weather with support for the HP TouchPad tablet. Check it out!
I will leave the source code on this page indefinitely. It is still distributed in accordance with the terms of the GNU-GPL 2.0 license, and you are welcome to take the code and use it to make your own fork of the application. I only ask that you please give it a new name if you choose to fork it, in order to reduce customer confusion.
Most weather applications for mobile devices seem to be covered in ads and kludgy. No-Nonsense Weather is none of that. It’s just the weather. Period.
Currently, this application for HP WebOS (all devices) provides a five-day forecast, weather alerts for your location, and the local doppler radar. By default, it uses the phone’s location services to get your current location and provide weather for where you are. If you prefer, you can disable this in the preferences and use any U.S. ZIP code instead. You can also choose to get high and low temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius, and whether you want your doppler radar images to be static or animated. The data and maps come from the U.S. National Weather Service and are only available for locations in the U.S.
No-Nonsense Weather is open-source (GNU-GPL) and is written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It makes use of the Palm Mojo frameworks and jQuery.
