They'll make a movie

I could really care less if it's a part of something "good". I just want somewhere to kick back and relax, maybe learn something or gain a new perspective. For that purpose convenience is king. In any case the better the product the more others will use federated alternatives and better/more diverse the content would be. And yeah, I already threw money at the devs to show my appreciation for what's been built so far.
I mean, I'm willing to subscribe to a Reddit service, too, if their in-house app wasn't hot shit.
Here's an example: how can I subscribe to the topics I want to follow? I don't want to see the 198 or whatever it is posts. Nor programmer humour. Lemmy has a great community of fans and users but if I can't see only what I want I'm not going to use it.
Windy is it. Great initial view of favorites for the quick check and beautiful visualizations, but man does it get deep if you want to double click.
For instance, a few weeks back I wanted to see why the sun looked orange and the sky was pale at ~3pm, so I pulled up the particulates map. I could see a 6hr moving map of particulates making their way from Alberta CA over to the skies to my west.
Also, they show a breakdown of all the major weather service providers' forecasts and detail which are better in which situations, helping you understand if that forecast you're planning on is really going to happen or it's just wishful thinking.
Oh, and you can set up alerts to notify you days ahead of time if conditions are right for activities, like if it's cool enough and good enough air quality to go for a run or if the wave swells will be high for surfing or what have you.
