i don't spend a lot of time on it every day, just trying to accumulative in hopes that it'll add up over time
I think I might have posted this before, but: I'm open to having a regular "What are you working on?" thread. I even reserved https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoisworking for that. But it shouldn't be on the first of the month, colliding with Who Is Hiring threads. How about, hmm, the third Saturday of each month? or maybe Friday?
A new way to visualize the weather (forecast). https://weather-sense.leftium.com got some interest in another thread[1]. Major updates in the past month: - Added AQI - Adjusted map colors to make precipitation radar more visible - Tweaked UI/styling If I find some time to work on it: - One hour minutely precipitation forecast - Allow toggling of all data in plots. - Settings UI + persist to cookie. - Minor bug fixes.…
If it's radar data. Where do you get it? I wanted to try radar data for my area to help a group of people trying to have a network of weather stations online and making sure everything was working fine.

I like the graphs. Is the map radar data or a forecast? I'm on mobile in case there a title somewhere that I'm not seeing. If it's radar data. Where do you get it?

The Rain Viewer API provides 2 hours of past radar data and 30 minutes of radar forecast data. If you donate on Patreon you get 60 minutes of radar forecast data[1]. [1]: https://www.rainviewer.com/api.html
We are gonna try it, we have a a script to extract radar data from the images on the local weather agency but it has a lot of problems with compression artifacts.
Also since the backend is in rust I’ve been contributing to a bunch of the libraries I’m using. There’s definitely been a cost to using rust since a lot of the web dev packages are on the younger side, but the reliability has been huge for a side project. Other than one time I set the wrong send grid API key I don’t think we’ve had a single 500.
