Show weather forecasts on date related polls #1771

Open JMLatGitHub opened 3 years ago

JMLatGitHub commented 3 years ago

Describe the goal you'd like to achieve

As a [poll organizer/participant] of a [(short termed) date related poll], it [would be a very nice gimmick to be able to (optionally?) show weather forecasts on each proposed day], because [it would help with planning of outdoor activities and in my opinion also looking very neat].

Describe possible solutions

No concrete suggestions yet, the idea just popped into my head while testing V2.0.3. Maybe somehow it's possible to rely on the existing implementations of the Weather app or the Dashboard Weather widget.

Additional context

Well, the first thing would be to enable the poll organizer to enter ascertainable locations when creating a date related poll and to have them plausibilized toward the weather forecast service. Maybe the organizer would also determine whether the weather data should be shown by default, optionally or not displayed at all to the participants. I would make the supported time span and accuracy dependent on the provided data of the chosen weather service.

Ayayayay. Nice suggestion, but I don't believe we will implement that. IMHO this is an edge case.

But congratulations to the good user story, it is the third now 👍

It was a spontaneous idea. The cost/benefit ratio is certainly a bit unbalanced, but I can imagine that it would be a lot of fun to develop something like this and, as your reaction shows, it would trigger an "aha" reaction among users...

I'll leave it in the backlog. Maybe somedays... 😄
