I originally intended to use this as part of an app that would compare and combine multiple sources of weather forecasts. While a lot of forecast data is numerical and therefore fairly easy to combine and compare in lots of different ways, weather descriptions are not. Weather descriptions are also often the easiest to understand, so I really wanted to be able to compare and combine them.

Highlights

• This was one of my first forays into trying to generate structured data from semi-structured input. It’s a problem I’ve banged my head against repeatedly since then (eg in (my recipe app)[./repertoire]) as I think it can unlock a lot of potential in a domain.

• While I didn’t end up using it, because it is a small, standalone package, it is something I could hopefully easily come back to

Downsides

• I never ended up using it
