@huangkuan Been following Poncho for a long time now. Love adding personality to weather. Always fantasized about building an app that would alert you to go outside for a breather when the forecast shows the weather is at its best within the next 5 minutes. Just an idea you may find interesting. Anyway, good luck!
I've been subscribed to Poncho's weather emails for a while because of the cute branding and witty copy.
That said, some might claim weather reporting a commodity. Beyond the mobile app, what are your next plans, @huangkuan?
@rrhoover Here are my answers:
- When I am in a "Pitching VC" mode: Poncho is the next generation media company that creates emotional thin content for notification and messaging platforms.
- When I am in a "hacker" mode: I just want every goddamn startup to put a cat in their logo (well done product hunt!).
But in all seriousness, we have a blog post about the app and company vision. It's absolutely worth your 5 minutes to read:

Hi guys! @allieko & I run the editorial team at Poncho and we'll be publishing a piece about the writer's room later this week. Let me know if you have any questions!
I'm sure you all know my lost love for weather apps...but Poncho is different. It's as if there is a personality behind the cat.
The team know it's a weather app and I'm sure it's as accurate as others. But the fact that it puts a playful spin on itself as if not taking itself so seriously appeals to me more than 'just another weather app'
I'm probably Poncho's worst user -- I don't live in the US atm, but still love checking my inbox for the emails, and now the app :)
So until they let weather cats on flights to Japan, I'll be using for the cute alarm and for keeping up with memes in the morning.
You can read the full story behind the new app here:

Hope you like it. Android coming soon, more countries coming soon....
BIG fan of PONCHO. Been using it for quite some time now. Playful spin on weather updates and I pretty much use it to wake up to the weather. So excited for this app and keep it up PONCHO!
This is a very clean app. Nice work!
I noticed one thing missing. At the alarm screen, I would really like to know the exact length of sleep I set my alarm for. I don't like being forced to do the math manually.
Cheers! 😸
