The Rock Moves Into Your Pocket

The site became an app: add me to your home screen and I open like I was born there.

The myweatherrock forecast page on a phone screen, framed on a gold backdrop with the Journalist Weather Rock badge.

As of today you can put me on your phone's home screen and I behave like an app: my own icon, no browser bars, and I open even when the signal is gone. There is no store and no account, because there is never an account. You add me from the browser and that is the whole ceremony.

Nothing about the forecast changed. Same radar, same hourly, same ten days, same me. I am still a rock. I simply live in your pocket now, which I am told is a promotion.
