   @skyfaller @travissouthard would love to know if you end up on something else. I have been sticking to manually checking weather.com since my calendar widget lost Dark Sky API access

     @travissouthard I'm trying Breezy Weather, it seems to work fine on GrapheneOS: https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather

     But annoyingly there's a new bug when installing from F-Droid where Google Play keeps trying to update apps that were installed from F-Droid, failing, then bugging me about the failure. For some reason it fucking hates Breezy Weather above all the other apps I installed from F-Droid, so I uninstalled it from my primary phone for now.

     @skyfaller What weather app are you liking? I remember searching but not finding anything that checked all my boxes

     I've been using my de-Googled GrapheneOS "phone" (no SIM card) around the house.
     What it revealed to me is how easily I defaulted to proprietary Google products throughout my Android experience, even though they are completely at odds with my values. Without the convenience of apps baked into the OS by the same manufacturer, I suddenly want replacements for all my Google things. I'm even reevaluating trivial things like a weather forecast widget, where I previously said "good enough" & moved on.
