Comment #34994132
Thanks, I've filed an issue that the locale shouldn't be used for units.

Comment #34979496
They're deprecated under the "Specification" tab: the `/icons/...` endpoints in the endpoint list, and the `icon` field in the `GridpointForecast` schema. The `shortForecast` field…

+1 Thanks. It looks like the Open-Meteo one may be worth a shot since it doesn't require an API key and briefsky is client-side.

Comment #34977663
The icon field is deprecated, no longer documented in the API, and also more complicated in practice, as it can mix multiple conditions, e.g. `...{day,night}/rain,30/snow,60?...`. …

Unfortunately, the NWS API is missing machine readable condition codes/icons in the daily and hourly forecast, which is why it isn't available in briefsky. The API has nearly every…

Comment #34975739
Yeah, this probably requires some explanation. Currently, briefsky doesn't depend on a geocoding API, so it can't map locations to coordinates or vice-versa. It just uses the lat/l…

Thanks for the feedback. Will make a note of auto-expand settings.

Comment #34975281
Seriously, thanks a ton for providing an API-key free weather API! That's why it's the default for briefsky. Sorry if there's a load spike today ;)

Comment #34975231
Yup, all good points. I've found Open-Meteo's default to be subpar for US. Briefsky offers Pirate Weather too, but will require a free API key. (MerrySky is Pirate Weather, so it's…

Thanks, I'll add it to my list. At some point I was thinking of adding a location search too, just depends on a free & reliable geocoding API.

Comment #34974259
The main issue I ran into with the NWS API was a lack of stable conditions codes/icons (something like WMO codes that could be easily mapped). They encode some weird dynamic image …

I considered handling this with some coarse longitude heuristic, but settled on just using the browser's locale for now, so it should default to metric for non-US locales. In the m…

Thanks, I'll take a look! New plotting sinks are easy to add and I really would like to migrate to something more stable. Gnuplot has been finicky with many people's setups, and it…
