Nimbus
What if the weather had personality?
01
The Idea
Nimbus is an experimental weather app exploring how narrative, digital personality, and AI can transform a daily utility into a more human experience.
02
The Why
We check the weather constantly. Before going out. Before traveling. Before deciding what to wear. Yet most apps still communicate as if speaking to meteorologists. Correct information. Forgettable experience. Nimbus comes from a curiosity: what would happen if the weather had personality?

Learning
LessonThe session was lost on page reload. The problem was not Firebase. It was the order in which the auth listener was updating the initial state.
