Weather widget should be smarter

Imperator_of_all

When searching for “weather” without a city appended, the widget is being for a city which seems to be taken from a geoip database. However, these databases can be quite inaccurate at times.
I see two possibilities to circumvent said problem
1) Have an Option “Hometown” where the user can set up, what town to use when no further arguments are given
2) Use the last explicitly searched for city, assuming the user will continue to search for this place

I'm not sure which option of these I like better... Maybe both and toggleable?

Imperator_of_all Sounds like the first option makes sense. Anywhere you've seen it implemented well?

I don't think number 2 would work as kagi does not store what you search for. 1 on the other hand sound pretty good to me.

I could imagine, when showing the weather widget & similar, adding a button enabling you to set that as your default location, either globally or just for that widget.

I think brave does it well

it just shows a notification where you can change your location on a map and saves it in cookies.

The weather widget has an option now for using precise location to provide weather information.
