I Built a Free Global Golden Hour Forecast Tool — No Signup Required

说明与用途

一个免费的网页工具，显示159个城市的黄金时段时间和真实照片，无需注册。

问题

Photographers, creators, and travelers need an easy way to find when the light is warm and golden in any city, but existing weather apps only give sunrise/sunset times and lack details about golden hour quality or visual context.

结果

The tool delivers accurate golden hour data and visual context for 159 cities, enabling users to plan shoots quickly without signing up, improving efficiency for photographers and travelers.

工作流

• 1. User types a city name into the search field.
• 2. The frontend sends a request to the backend API to fetch sun calculations via SunCalc.
• 3. The backend retrieves a recent golden hour photo from Pexels or Pixabay and stores it in Cloudflare R2.
• 4. The API returns golden hour start/end times, peak score, and image URL.
• 5. The frontend renders the times, score, and wallpaper for the user.
• 6. User can view the photo and plan their shoot accordingly.

证据

GoldenHour.Forecast helps photographers, creators, and travelers find the perfect time to shoot anywhere in the world — with real HD wallpapers for every city.
