Weather Gadget for Atlassian Forge

Inspiration

I wanted to learn more about Forge development during Forge Quest 2025

What it does

After asking for your city and country, the gadget makes API calls to OpenWeatherMap to fetch current weather data. It then displays:

• A weather icon representing current conditions
• Current Temperature (27.56 °C)
• Feels like temperature (28.29 °C)
• Humidity percentage (54%)

How we built it

Built using Atlassian Forge platform and the OpenWeatherMap API. The app is a simple yet functional dashboard widget that integrates seamlessly with Jira dashboards.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge was understanding how to properly integrate with the Forge platform and handle API requests within its constraints. Learning the specific requirements for Forge gadget development was also challenging.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a functional weather widget that successfully retrieves and displays real-time weather information within a Jira dashboard.

What we learned

This project helped me gain hands-on experience with Forge development, working with third-party APIs in the Atlassian ecosystem, and understanding the gadget lifecycle in Jira.

What's next for Weather gadget

Future improvements could include:

• Multi-day weather forecasts
• More detailed weather information
• User settings for temperature units
• Location detection
• Weather alerts integration
