Hanaco Weather (os Yamato) Matches Weather Messages to Live Data

Matching logic (simplified) • It uses currentWeather.main, description, temperature, time of day, and language. • Filters local DB messages (listWeatherComments) using: • Weather match (e.g. “Clear”, “Rainy”) • Temp range (±3°C) • Time window (±1.5h) • Language match (e.g. locale.value) • Also pulls from iOS App data (via GraphQL endpoint) and merges results. • Adds createdAtMs and sorts descending. • All matching posts are shown in the main feed — beautiful short messages from strangers in similar weather.

Example

If it’s currently 18°C and cloudy in Tokyo at 9am: • Hanaco fetches recent messages from other users where: • weather = Cloudy • temp ≈ 18°C • timeOfDay ≈ 9am • language = ja → The result: You get messages that feel relevant — weather-wise and emotionally.

Tech Stack • Frontend: Vue 3 (Composition API) • Backend: AWS Amplify (GraphQL + Cognito) • Weather API: OpenWeatherMap • Realtime UI and multilingual support (ja, en, es, zh)

In my ongoing solo project OS Yamato, one of the more unusual apps is Hanaco Weather — a poetic weather SNS that lets users post thoughts tied to temperature, weather conditions, and time of day.

But here’s the fun technical part: When you open the app, it fetches the real-time weather (via OpenWeatherMap API) and shows you messages from other users that match your current conditions — such as rainy mornings in Spanish, or snowy nights in Japanese.
