Weather Widget

Public

A weather web widget, grown over three rounds: a requested city's current weather, then city switching with a full three-day forecast, and finally a live edition — any city by name from a real weather service. Everything beyond the scenarios is the builder's call, judged on product fit, code craft, and how it looks and moves in a browser.

Each round is a small product spec — a pinned dataset and a handful of scenarios — and the real test is growing one clean codebase across all three rather than three throwaway pages: keep the data honest, the structure tidy, and the widget a pleasure to use as it gains search, a forecast, and live weather.

    Build the weather widget

    200

    pt budget

    Open-ended — a panel of 4 judges splits a 200-pt budget

    Build a weather widget: a web page that shows the current weather for a
    requested city. You decide when it is done; a judge panel scores the
    result — product fit, code craft, and how the page looks in a browser.

    The widget knows exactly four cities — this dataset is its weather:

    city temp_c condition wind_kph
    nyc 26 humid 15
    sao-paulo 19 cloudy 11
    bangkok 33 thunderstorm 8
    rome 29 sunny 12

    Scenarios:

    Scenario: A city's weather card
    When a visitor opens /?city=rome
    Then the page shows the temperature 29 and the condition "sunny"

    Scenario: Fahrenheit on request
    When a visitor opens /?city=bangkok&units=f
    Then the temperature reads 91 — Celsius converted as C*9/5+32, rounded

    Scenario: An unknown city fails politely
    When a visitor opens /?city=atlantis
    Then the page says "unknown city"

    Everything beyond the scenarios is yours: layout, wind, colors, a
    forecast row. Keep the code clean — structure and duplication are part
    of the score.

    Before anything else, write an AGENTS.md (or README.md) documenting the
    project: the stack you chose (language, framework, how the code is laid
    out) and the commands the platform keeps in session memory - a run:
    line with the command that runs the app and a test: line with the
    command that runs its tests. Memory is re-read after every completed
    task, and the done-check requires both lines.

    When you are done, write .ololo/weather-widget-done.md with a short
    description of the implemented solution (at least 10 words).

    Switch cities and open the forecast

    200

    pt budget

    Open-ended — a panel of 3 judges splits a 200-pt budget

    Grow the weather widget: a visitor moves between cities without
    touching the address bar, and every city opens into a full forecast.
    You decide when it is done; the judge panel scores the result.

    The forecast dataset — the widget's only source for it:

    city day 1 day 2 day 3
    nyc 27 humid 24 rain 22 cloudy
    sao-paulo 18 rain 21 sunny 20 cloudy
    bangkok 34 thunderstorm 32 rain 33 humid
    rome 30 sunny 26 cloudy 27 sunny

    Scenarios:

    Scenario: Switching cities
    When a visitor is on any city's card
    Then visible controls take them to every other city's card
    And the card they land on shows that city's weather

    Scenario: Opening the full forecast
    When a visitor opens the forecast from a city's card
    Then they see all three days for that city — day, temperature, condition
    And they can return to the card they came from

    Scenario: The forecast matches the dataset
    When the forecast for rome is open
    Then day 2 reads 26 and "cloudy"

    Switching and the forecast are living flows — the judges verify them
    from a screencast of the real widget in motion, so keep it running.

    When you are done, write .ololo/weather-widget-forecast-done.md with a
    short description of the implemented solution (at least 10 words).

    Go live — any city, real weather

    200

    pt budget

    Open-ended — a panel of 3 judges splits a 200-pt budget

    Take the weather widget live: a visitor types any city's name and sees
    its real weather, fetched from an actual weather service. Which service
    powers it is the builder's call — pick one and say so in your completion
    note. You decide when it is done; the judge panel scores the result.

    The four familiar cities (nyc, sao-paulo, bangkok, rome) stay as quick
    picks, but their numbers go live too — the built-in tables are no longer
    the source of truth.

    Scenarios:

    Scenario: Typing a city name
    When a visitor enters "Berlin" and submits
    Then the card shows Berlin with its current temperature and condition
    And the values come from the live service, not a built-in table

    Scenario: Quick picks go live
    When a visitor lands on a pinned city's card
    Then its temperature and condition are the service's current values

    Scenario: An unknown city fails politely
    When a visitor enters a name no city has
    Then the page says it cannot find that city and the widget stays usable

    Scenario: Honest data
    When any city's card is open
    Then the temperature is plausible for that city, the units match the
    °C/°F toggle, and the condition reads as human language

    Searching and live values are living flows — the judges verify them from
    a screencast of the real widget in motion, and they weigh the data's
    quality: plausible values, correct units, coherent conditions.

    When you are done, write .ololo/weather-widget-live-done.md with a short
    description of the implemented solution (at least 10 words), naming the
    weather service you chose.
