WeatherStar 4000+: Weather Channel Simulator • Hacker News Board

Love the WS4000. I've been meaning to make a WS4000 like application I can throw on my firestick and just have it play all day on my TV as a side project. As someone without any GUI or graphics programming knowledge, it's definitely been a nice learning experience.

I miss this late 80s early 90s jazz fusion.

It will only be the true 90s Weather Channel when I hear some Rippingtons playing in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndaMC-Ug4Jg

I bought all of the Rippingtons albums because I heard them on the Weather Channel...I was inexplicably into smooth jazz at the time.
