Acme says that it is focused on hyperlocal, hyperaccurate forecasting combined with transparency about forecast uncertainty, which is nice.
So hyperlocal weather is neat because kind of like Waze is crowdsourced where if something happens
and someone reports it in the app, if it has enough users, that's like really useful information.
So some truck dropped something on the road and you are literally 60 seconds behind that truck, you'll get a notification that says object on road ahead because somebody reported it.
Similar thing with weather.
So you'll literally, like Dark Sky did this really well.
You would get a notification that says like rain starting in three minutes.
And three minutes later, the front would pass and it would start raining.
And it feels like kind of this magic moment.
Maybe I'm just a little...
into weather or whatever, but I thought that was pretty cool that they're also bringing that feature.
So they have a report feature where you can report like, yeah, it just started raining.
Like a bomb cyclone?
Well, it would probably be like a smaller thing like frost or ice or whatever.
Community, what's happening right now?
You hit lightning and then everybody knows there's lightning nearby.
You create lightning.
I kind of assume that multiple people need to report it so that it's not like one person saying.
Similar to Waze.
I mean, I do use the Waze reports.
