Hello. I'm Tom, and I made this -- more than three years ago. No idea why it's suddenly turned up here; it doesn't exactly fit under 'hacker' or 'news'!
It did once have permalinks, but adding translations in 2010 messed things up and I never got around to fixing the code. (Do try picking a RTL language, though, I'm quite proud of how that works.)
It should (I think) store the city you've requested in a cookie for next time, though. Maybe. It's really old and dodgy code.
Still, full marks for YQL for putting up with all the weather requests they've gotten over the years...
Love this. +1 to permalinks, and would love to see better typography -- IMO replacing Tahoma with Open Sans Regular, or Light would go a long way. And perhaps a serif font for the planet name...
There's no use in an app where you have to look up the readout to interpret the result. That means the potential market for this app are SW geeks who have memorized the climates of planets and moons in Star Wars.

If it were my site, I'd probably also use AU (and AT), though.
Analysis: sizeable market.
