Clocks and Weather Extension

A personal project.

This is a simple extension for displaying current time and weather in multiple cities when opening New Tab.

This Chrome Extension uses OpenWeather's Free API to get weather data. Due to restrictions with the Free API, only a limited number of API requests can be made using this Extension's default API Key. To enable adding more than one location, please sign up to OpenWeather and get your own API Key.

This extension does NOT gather or share any personal information or your OpenWeather API key. It only uses basic google analytics.

Pete M (ID: 0000003536673356) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/16/2020 Couldn't find any other apps that were as focused as this one for displaying multiple weather locations. Great work. I hope you can continue iterating on this project. Keep it simple and focused like you've done thus far. If you're curious about why people like it/use it maybe consider adding an easy to find 'send feedback' link so you can open a dialogue with users. Keep up the good work Mark F.!
