🌤️ Weather or Not

A Next.js web app that helps you decide whether to ride your motorcycle or mow the lawn based on weather conditions.

Features

• Real-time weather from Open-Meteo API (free, no API key needed)
• Motorcycle ride checker — evaluates temp, precipitation, wind, humidity, road conditions
• Lawn mowing checker — weather + tracks when you last mowed (cooldown system)
• Record activities — mark when you've done something to avoid daily suggestions
• Beautiful dark UI with status indicators and detailed reasoning
• Client-side config — set your location and thresholds in localStorage

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run development server
npm run dev

# Open http://localhost:3000

Build & Deploy

# Build for production
npm run build

# Start production server
npm start

Configuration

Settings are stored in your browser's localStorage. Default location is Livonia, Michigan.

To change location or thresholds, edit src/lib/storage.ts or add a settings page.

Adding New Activities

1. Create a new evaluator function in src/lib/activities.ts
2. Add it to the /api/activities/route.ts endpoint
3. Create a new component in src/app/components/
4. Add it to src/app/page.tsx

Tech Stack

• Next.js 14 — App Router, API routes
• TypeScript — Full type safety
• Tailwind CSS — Styling
• Open-Meteo — Free weather data
• localStorage — Client-side config & history
• Server filesystem — Server-side activity history
