Built a simple weather site for old phones and slow networks

Recently I’ve been working on a lightweight weather forecast project designed for older mobile devices and basic browsers. The idea was to make something that still works comfortably on: Java/J2ME phones older BlackBerry devices low-end phones slow mobile networks Modern weather websites are usually too heavy for these devices, so I focused on keeping everything fast and minimal instead. Features include: real-time weather forecasts lightweight pages low data usage keypad-friendly navigation compatibility with older browsers Link in the comments.

I made a weather app for J2ME phones called Tohoo Weather.

It’s a lightweight weather application designed for old Java phones like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG, and even some BlackBerry devices. Features: Real-time weather City search Low data usage Fast on old feature phones Simple keypad-friendly UI I know J2ME is basically dead now, but I still enjoy developing for old devices and wanted to see how far I could push modern web APIs on classic phones. Surprisingly, it actually works pretty well on real hardware. Would anyone here still use something like this on their old phones?

I built a browser-based Java ME (J2ME) online compiler

Hi everyone,

I built a small web-based tool that allows you to compile Java ME (J2ME) applications directly in the browser.

It is focused only on the build/compilation side, not runtime emulation.

✨ What it does:

Online compilation of Java ME (MIDP/CLDC-style) Java code

Generates .jar build outputs in the browser environment

Lightweight workflow for experimenting with legacy Java mobile projects

No installation required

🧠 Why I built it:

J2ME development tools today are outdated, heavy, and difficult to set up.

I wanted to create a simple way to:

quickly compile old Java ME projects

reduce dependency on legacy SDKs

explore retro mobile development workflows in a modern browser

⚠️ Notes:

This is compile-only (no emulator / no runtime execution)

Still experimental

Compatibility depends on code structure

👉 If anyone is interested, I can share the link in comments.
