Tired of drying your laundry only for it to get soaked by surprise rain? A new website is going viral in the Philippines for solving that exact problem — and all it takes is a quick install on your phone.
Why it matters: With the rainy season in full swing, Filipinos are once again facing the age-old dilemma: kailan magandang magsampay? That’s where labais.life comes in, a simple but genius web app that predicts the best time to dry your clothes outdoors, using your exact location and weather data.
The app works by asking for your phone’s GPS permission, then analyzes weather patterns to give an hourly forecast. It tells you the ideal window to hang your clothes before the next downpour hits. No more guessing. No more panic when the sky suddenly darkens.
One glowing review from a mom sums it up perfectly:
“As a nanay, laba is life talaga. This web app is pure genius. Basic, straightforward, and even our helper uses this app as a guide. So far, for our location, accurate siya! Considering na relatively younger ang age ng nag-develop ng app, nakakatuwa talaga.”
