Weather Data!

One of the major factors holding up development of Shutter Scouts has been negotiating with weather data providers. Even in these apparently bleak times there's a lot of companies out there who don't even respond to business enquiries. Unlike the average person, I can't simply scrape weather from Google or use freely available data (because it's not actually free of usage restrictions). Also, I'm committed to obtaining the most comprehensive and accurate data I can — my users will depend on it and that data doesn't come free.

Thankfully I managed to find three good providers and after a lot of back-and-forth, I've signed up with one. This means that the next stage of development can progress and it should accelerate the release of a preview version. I'll also be evaluating this data and may in the future augment it with further weather forecasts.
