A no-nonsense SPA for showing weather in your area.
This is a super simple webapp that shows you the weather and some other neat things. It is designed so that it can be run 24/7 on a display.
There are some nice little details:
- The wind icon will make a blowing animation if it is windy outside.
- The compass points in the direction of the wind.
- The thermometer changes color and height depending on the temperature.
- The cloud will either rain or snow if percipitation is occurring.
Currently all data for the app is pulled from darksky.net
The site is hosted by Netlify. Backend requests are built using Netlify Functions
Netlify is an amazing platform that makes the deveopment and deployment of this application so simple. If you haven't already, you should check it out.
If you want to run the application on a machine with a cursor add /kiosk to the URL. This will hide the cursor on the webpage.
All you have to do is click the button. Sorta...
Just make sure to set the the DARK_SKY environment variable to your DarkSky key in the Environment configuration tab (in Netlify).
