Hello @spectrum705. I'm thinking of adding an option for GPS coordinates. What would be "some way" for you ?

[spectrum705]

as we type maybe we can fetch the location details from some map and give users to option to select more accurate location?

[victrme]

The thing is that weather data has an accuracy of a few km2, meaning that specifying small towns or districts does not matter.

What issue do you have with the current location option ?

[spectrum705]

i cant find my current town, so i need to select a closer well own one. plus, the weather doesnt seem to be accurate? like its raining here mostly but it wont show that on forecast

[victrme]

If your neighbouring town is around 10km away, there is no need to change. Is it always inaccurate ? Is it different than when you select this town on accuweather ?

[spectrum705]

sorry for late reply. i cant even find my town properly in that accuweather, only nearby ones and that there 3 same names so i am not sure which one. do you plan to use any other API in future?

[victrme]

We wont use another API right now, but I'm working on another service that uses also foreca.com, maybe you can see your town there.

[spectrum705]

i could find my place in that

[spectrum705]

also, a different question. what do i do when i want to add newer images from a folder? rn i just select the entire files of the folder and upload when there's a few new images. will this repeat the older images? if yes, how should i solve about this?

[victrme]

For now you can only manually select the new images from the folder. We might improve this feature during the winter 🤔
