Paper Weather

We wanted to know what rain would look like if it were drawn by hand instead of rendered by a weather API.

Paper Weather started as a Friday afternoon experiment: what if your local forecast looked like a page torn out of a sketchbook instead of a stock icon set? Sun became a scribbled circle. Rain became a field of quick diagonal marks, redrawn every time the page loads.

There's no real utility here — it pulls real weather data, but the whole point was the drawing, not the accuracy. We built it in a weekend, shared it with about a dozen people, and it ended up circulating a lot further than expected.
