BloomSky weather station

One of the most fun products I’ve worked on — and owned over the years. Elegant weather monitoring that does more than report or forecast: it timelapses your sky every day. Those videos add a 24-hour weather layer and a daily piece of art. Hardware story, branding, photography, web — information as beauty, product delight and utility in one system.

As a solar-home owner, the daily sky was also practical — how much sun did the panels actually get? Analog sky diary and digital time-lapse data UI share the same thesis.

Today's stack for the hyper-local thesis

Today I'd frame the product around one claim worth testing: a reading from your own roof beats a regional forecast. The interface would show that. The app's day, dusk, night, and storm looks would be Rive states driven by live sensor inputs, so the UI shifts with the sky outside. Figma would hold the data components: temperature, UV, rain, and the daily timelapse card. A WebGL map of stations in the field would make the network visible on the site.

Marketing would run as a daily pipeline. The best real timelapses from stations would be shortlisted each morning, cut in Premiere Pro into stills and loops, and slotted into a standing social cadence. The sky is the art, and the brand's job is to frame it.
