A terminal weather app with ASCII animations driven by real-time weather data

7 hours ago (github.com)

I'm currently using Ghostty with Zellij, and there has been a constant tension w.r.t whether I should use a zellij feature or a Ghostty one (i.e, tabs/panes/etc) when they provide the same thing.

I've come to the conclusion to rely more on Zellij because I can SSH into my desktop from my laptop remotely to continue my dev session exactly where I left off.

So, these days I don't even use "native" terminal tabs anymore.

I love this, especially the GIF demo. Very satisfying to stare at :)

Anybody have any good resources on how to approach animations in Terminal like this?

TUI twice (1) a day. Interesting tendency.

I watched the animated gif in the readme and let out a shout of delight when I saw the lightning strike, and on the second loop appreciated how it also lit up the surroundings. Lovely attention to detail!

I looked at the snow one and almost expected snowdrifts to start accumulating.

Lovely project.

Yet checking out "cargo install weathr" and is it me or rust is becoming the next nodejs? :D

  • I had the same thought seeing the long list of "Downloaded" and "Compiling" lines. Looking at Cargo.toml, I believe tokio could be overkill for this. I might clone it and play with reducing deps to see how far I can get reducing the npm-ness of this tool.

One day i will make an app you can connect with telnet or ssh so that you can do pricetracker.wtf on cli.

One day.

Very cool project!

  • given that go has an ssh server in stdlib or close to it, this might even be a oneshot prompt with opus.

I am impressed with contributors like these. In the fast-moving world, where everyone is running after AI, you slow down to touch grass.

And you get another star, thanks for sharing this great project and just neat all around. One of my laptops, an Asus ZenBook, has a trackpad display and now I just have the weather running in it!
