Light Zephryos blows the sweetest breeze.
— The Anacreontea, Fragment 41 (trans. Campbell, Vol. Greek Lyric II) (Greek lyric C5th B.C.)
Based on weather conditions, help a drone photography pilot answer the following question(s):
- Can I fly at X location today?
(Stretch Goals)
- What about the next 7 days?
- How does Y location compare, better or worse?
- Which date/site combinations are best so I can plan my week?
Typically, the best conditions are:
- daylight
- light to no wind
- no precipitation
- low humidity
- moderate temperatures
- too cold and batteries suffer
- too hot and electronics overheat
- get forecast for a given location (today)
- sunrise / sunset time
- wind speed
- temperature / humidity
- precipitation
- invent some kind of at-a-glance aggregate indicator
- in other words, answer the question: can I fly here today?
- use browser geolocation API to automatically get user's location on load
- show simple map of location
- get multi-day forecast for a given location / date
- allow multiple locations
- more in-depth data visualization
- sunrise / sunset time
- wind speed over time
- temperature / humidity over time
- user authentication
- save multiple locations to user account
