This semester I'm taking part in an independent study related to weather and mobile development that required me (as a sort of right of passage) to create a preliminary application on a platform of my choice. Being a Maemo user, I obviously chose Maemo!

http://maemo.org/packages/view/qtweather/

Qtweather is a simple weather app that uses data from the National Weather service to display weather info in night/day form. The part I end up using the most is the 'hourly weather chart'.

This isn't the final product of the class, but it is an app none the less, and one that I will be graded on! I wasn't sure if I should upload it or not, but I figured it wouldn't hurt.

The main reason though was to get users to start using it and hopefully find bugs or request features. The better the app is the better my grade is . Feel free to scrutinize the source as well. It's my first Maemo/Debian/C++ application (application in general really) so it's entirely possible that I'm not conforming to conventions, or not being as efficient as possible ect...

I just finished it and uploaded it today so it's obviously a work in progress, but any input at all is valuable. If you want to download it, you need to enable the extras-devel repo, and it's under qtweather.

EDIT: Screenshots:

The first of two windows. This is where you get prompted for the zipcode (and soon just a city).

The 'details' screen displays forecasts and hourly weather charts
