I really love Golang minimalist applications using sqlite. The whole architecture feels really elegant to me personally. I wish you luck for this project and if I may ask, is the project open source, I really love its UI :) ,it feels so cool!

#22How do you turn on the text-only mode? I've tried Accept: text/plain but I always get HTML.
Don't think it's 'true' plain text. HTML/CSS rendering 'like' plain text. Still beautiful though!

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Looking at chrome dev tools, it looks like it might be the custom font causing the delay. I'm not sure exactly why though.
Interesting, I’d have naively assumed that’d be cached after first load by Chrome. Definitely one to investigate further.
I recommend run Google Lighthouse for a single visitor view of perf and then use a load testing tool (locust, jmeter etc. to check load handling)
If you want to that is :)

#27Cool. There's unicode cloud characters. Would be nice to have a visual indication of rain/sun/cloudy etc

#28Love it. This reminds me of wttr.in, but with the benefit of interactivity and that it works much better on mobile. I also happen to often use terminals in a narrower aspect, so wttr.in doesn't work perfectly for me. It'd be very cool if a curl call to your site rendered a terminal text view!
Great suggestion, thank you. I’ll definitely keep that in mind as an improvement. There’s been some other feedback that it’d be good if there was a ‘true’ plain text only mode, and this ties in well.

Ideally, you would let someone set an Accept: content type of text/plain, or else have an endpoint like brolly.sh/forecast/RWFP2qW8.txt
