Idea is to use Pebble to alert people when their regular trains are running late.
There will be an (Android only) companion App to provide the glue between the Pebble and an online-service.
Currently researching transport API - this will form the backbone of the online service, which also act as a Gateway/Facade to whatever API(s?) are used

Name: Meteor Show
Meteor Show is a nice little app that displays information about meteor showers easily observable by amateurs. It includes short description of the meteor shower, amaze your friends with the information. Displays the moon phase for the date of the meteor shower, as well as shower intensity. Also calculates how many days remaining until the showers optimal dates! If the shower is within 7 days it will notify you upon starting the application.
Version 1.1 is now available. Correcting spelling/typos as well as adding data for 2014.
If there is enough interest in the app, I will update it to calculate the sunrise and sunset times (based off of gps location) to better help plan your viewing event(s)!
Comments are appreciated.
*DOWNLOAD*
Free version is finally available on the Marketplace. It contains the same functionality with data through 2012.
Paid version to support me ($0.99) is also available.
And of course the xap file is attached for sideloaders.
New is version 1.1, Data for 2014.
Is the free version up yet?
A fix for the free version was submitted last night, but it seems to take my apps from Microsoft 3-5 days to go through validation and approval. So hopefully Thursday!
I'm the developer of atmosHere (play on words of atmosphere) Weather for Android, an Android app to make weather smarter, and simpler. The app is "Card UI" based, similar to that of Google Now, and is powered first and foremost by the hyper accurate Forecast.io. By using Google's Fused location Provider, we can get your exact location and get down to the minute weather information, all while also getting data for the upcoming week! The app prioritizes information based on the current weather conditions. So if there is a weather alert for your location, that will be the first card you will see! Similar concepts are used else where, if it's raining or snowing, you will get a card for nearby traffic accident counts. This pattern is used throughout the app. This makes it extremely simple to get glance-able information about what is going on right now, and other data that applies based on the conditions. The card ui also makes it simple to fling down a little further for the upcoming week weather, chances of rain, device sensor readings (barometric pressure, temps, etc), pollen counts, UV index, astronomy information, and many more! The app is also extremely configurable, by allowing users to toggle what information they want to see, allowing them to personalize the data they get within the app!
Just recently (last night) I added a new feature that I have yet to see from any other Forecast.io powered app. Forecast.io provides TONS of information, but for the normal person it is hard to parse through all the data given and make sense of it and what it means for the weather. So i have taken the data given, and "pre-parsed" it in a sense, and turned it into a friendly, readable, format when needed. For example, forecast.io provides a summary for a given days' forecast, "Breezy starting in the afternoon, continuing until the evening." and then this is where I come in and add additional, relevant information. So if there is a high chance of rain in the forecast, I will add precipitation information, "75% chance of rain, with light rain starting at 5pm". This gives you the chance of rain, how heavy it will be (can range from very light to very heavy), and then the forecasted time of that precipitation! I also do the same for the given temperature. So you may see "High for today of 35, with a low of 25" and if it will "feel" warmer or cooler than the given temperature, it will also let you know! This makes the forecast for every day personalized and relevant, and lets you very quickly flip to a given day's forecast and know exactly what the forecast is. No need to flip through charts of data, and stare at numbers trying to make sense of them!
The app also features data from other services to aid with contextual information, such as traffic conditions, marine and ski conditions, latest earthquake information, and even a feed of National Weather Service Audio Streams! This will be built out even further going forward, allowing users to custom tailor the weather information they are shown!
The app also features radar data of all types, from precipitation, to weather alerts, and plenty more! Your Android standards such as widgets, notifications, and even extensions for the ever popular DashClock and Muzei are included! The app has already been optimized for Android Wear once it is released to the public. Google Glass has not been forgotten either, as there is a build ready to go for when Google Opens up GDK app distribution!
I have a G+ community setup that I am posting information about updates, bugs, and asking random questions for possible future updates. I will also answer any questions or I am open to just good old conversation! I am always open to suggestions of new ideas for the app. It's been extremely enjoyable thus far getting that app to where it is, and look forward to keeping that going. I also have no problem answering any emails if you prefer taking that route. The about section of the app includes all contact information you could ever need.

I have been doing weekly releases, and the app has improved tremendously over the last few weeks. We are now sitting in the top 30 in free weather app!
I have also worked on a free version, as some people have seemed hesitant to purchase without being able to really try the Card UI style out first.
So atmosHere Weather Free has been published just today!
Google Play Feature!
atmosHere Weather is now being featured on Google Play!
Feel free to join the G+ Community as well to follow development, make suggestions, or report bugs! There's a current Reddit thread right now as well.
I bought this the other day for my brand new Note 4. After installing all it would do is tell me i was running an unlicensed version. Pretty odd behavior considering i bought it via the play store. Had to request a refund pretty much immediately. Shame. I liked the look of this.
The goal of this watch app is to use the accelerometer of the watch to measure real-world distances between button presses, using a high sample rate during measurement. Additional functionality/methods for measuring is planned if the lack of gyroscope and the error introduced from double integration proves too great for this to be remotely reliable.
Implementation wise, it's will be a watch app (not a face) so we have access to buttons. Instructions will be displayed on screen with minimally an option to calibrate (to a known distance) and an option to perform a measurement. Any manual settings (set and forget) will be available via a configuration/settings screen on the phone and stored in persistent storage on the watch. It is unlikely that the app will work without the phone connection, simply because A) the calculations will be fairly involved, and are likely better handled in JavaScript on the phone, B) it's uncertain how much accelerometer data we'll be able to retain in memory to allow sufficient time for measuring - if we can buffer it on the watch and offload it to javascript for later processing, we can potentially measure longer or with more precision.
The motivation for this is for estimating dimensions - rooms, yards/lawns, camping sites, game fields, etc. without needing to carry anything extra, and to get some familiarity with using the accelerometer (as I'm already familiar with the other pieces, having written a fairly involved watch face, Timely)
As the development period doesn't officially start until tomorrow at 1pm EST, I'm focusing purely on planning/theory/research right now - keeping track of it in Trello here.
Current timeline:
2014-08-15, 1PM EST:
- Create github repository, create compile and upload basic app to appstore with javascript enabled (for IOS bundling), begin actual development.
2014-08-22:
- Sanity check: 1 week in, basic UI and functionality should be done, working on javascript calculations
2014-08-29:
- Add additional methods for measurement (pedometer/counter, etc.) and ensure settings page is in place, then resume algorithm work.
2014-09-05, 5PM EST:
- Publish final code to github and final app to store, sanity check, confirm/test all functionality until the 8PM deadline.
Thoughts/comments/suggestions welcome, especially from anyone who's dared to try to use a single accelerometer with no gyroscope to double integrate and approximate distances

- Nope! I absolutely didn't get an opportunity to complete this (let alone work on it much) during the contest window, due to various reasons. I'm still committed to making this happen, and will work on it as time permits.
Apologies to those who were looking forward to measuring things from their wrist this weekend!
