I find it quite funny that their FAQ says about showing the temperature in Celcius, but not "Is there an Android version coming?".

So... if you're an android developer, you know what product I want you to clone?



Why is it funny that their FAQ has an answer for Celsius? It's pretty much only the US that uses Fahrenheit for temperatures, the rest of the modern world uses celsius to display temperature. That coupled with the fact that Panic are a renowned Apple-based developer, should indicate really that there's likely no chance of getting a Panic-developed Android version.


Funny because it's a trivial feature that's actually implemented, just obviously in a slightly confusing way that someone's asked about it.

They're famous amongst HN readers, but not amongst people who might land on their site googling for "status board tablet"


It's really not trivial to those of us outside the US (Fahrenheit is meaningless to me), and enough US developers are US-centric enough that it sadly doesn't go without saying that they would support Celsius.


I think panic are very famous foir developing on the Apple platform. Them coding for Android would maybe even be a news item in itself.


Panic are an old school Apple developer, even before OS X. Even coded one of the first MP3 players on MacOS.
