There's a fine line between form and function. Every developer who puts a premium on design inevitably faces tough choices along the way, sacrificing features and usability for the sake of retaining their vision. Like its name suggests, WTHR is a minimalist reinterpretation of Apple's Weather app, offering the current temperature and conditions alongside a 7-day forecast. As a Dieter Rams-inspired design project, it hits on many of his 10 principles, with a pure, clean aesthetic that practically begs you to touch it.
WTHR keeps things simple, however, offering little interaction and just two buttons: one switches from Fahrenheit to Celsius, with another that updates the data. A keen dial spins during a refresh, and it looks so good, you'll want to spin it yourself (you can't).
