Weather Scene

In early 2021, Google ran a developer competition to promote the use of their new framework, Jetpack Compose. This ran over a few weeks with the final challenge being the creation of a weather app.

Having previously made Socket Weather, I decided I could use this as an opportunity to learn Compose UI and push the boundaries of what the framework could do.

At the time I made the submission everyone in the northern hemisphere was showing very spring-based weather. However Melbourne was turning out some beautiful autumn colours, so I decided to lean into that for the app’s UI.

The app received a lot of positive feedback and ultimately won the visual beauty category. Thanks for the free Pixel 5, Google!

Source code for the app can be found here on GitHub.
