Claude-assisted 3D weather radar app adds a 2D web version
AI summary
Developer Atomosic reports that Claude helped build a 3D NEXRAD weather radar app, which covers about 280 radars across the US and Europe, plus a few in Asia, and retains up to 60 frames of history. The new web version is 2D-only, displays the latest 15 frames, and supports shareable GIFs, while Fable handled much of the web conversion and Claude helped write a guide to reading 3D radar data.
In-depth insight
The project provides a concrete example of Claude and Fable assisting with a usable cross-platform weather application, though the capabilities are self-reported by the developer.
| The video is last month's nor'easter in 3D. You may have seen my earlier posts looking for testers for my 3D NEXRAD radar app. Since then I've built a web version. It's 2D only and shows the last 15 frames. 3D is in the app. It covers about 280 radars across the US and Europe, plus a few in Asia, and keeps up to 60 frames of history. I'm much more at home in Swift than on the web. Fable knew web design well and did a lot of the heavy lifting in the conversion. It also helped me build a new feature: you can send someone a GIF of the latest radar frames, like this one: https://alerua.com/share/gifs/kbyx.gif?t=hrfzd Claude also helped me write a guide to what 3D radar shows and how to read it: https://alerua.com/blog/what-is-3d-weather-radar I'm still looking for testers, so please try the website and the app. Both are free, with no ads and no tracking.
