Weatherify: A Simple Cross-Platform Weather App Built with Flutter
Most weather apps today are filled with ads, unnecessary features, and cluttered interfaces. I wanted something simple that shows the weather quickly without distractions, so I built Weatherify.
Weatherify is an open-source weather app built with Flutter and powered by the OpenWeather API. It works on Android, iOS, and the web from a single codebase.
Why I Built It
The goal was straightforward: create a lightweight weather app with a clean interface that focuses on the information people actually need.
Whether you’re checking today’s weather before heading out or planning a trip, Weatherify keeps things simple and easy to use.
Tech Stack
Flutter for building a single app that runs on Android, iOS, and the web.
OpenWeather API for real-time weather data, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather conditions.
GitHub Actions (optional) for automating web deployments with CI/CD.
Supported Platforms
Weatherify currently supports:
Android
iOS
Web
The app is responsive and works well across different screen sizes.
