Geometric weather ☁️ is awesome πŸ‘

use breezy weather as geometric isn't updated anymore
u/tetris11
how does ping work on lemmy?

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Breezy is better anyhow. I'm pretty blown away by it since finding it a week ago.

And I honestly really liked geometric weather too.

[–] cole@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just downloaded them and they're pretty darn similar anyways

[–] lom@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah no shit. Breezy is just a maintained fork of geometric

[–] cole@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

of course, but the implication was breezy was substantially better and my point was it seemed pretty much the same

[–] Charmille@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

I was thinking using geometric weather but there was an update few days ago. After checking it's actually "oss weather", it seems very similar to breezy weather

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what's the org name for Thunder? Searching thunder or lemmy doesn't get results, search is pretty shit.

[–] wh3resmym1nd@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

It seems on FDroid at least that FBreader is no longer available as a FOSS app.
