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.

It's sort of okay (but not amazing) with

  w3m -4 -dump https://brolly.sh/forecast/RWFP2qW8

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

  • This is US only via the finger protocol (using netcat):

    printf 'weather:85334\r\n' | nc bbs.airandwave.net 79

    More info:

    printf 'weather\r\n' | nc bbs.airandwave.net 79

Heads up, in a lot of locations the city is doubled up (displayed twice). Otherwise, I like it a lot and I have it saved to my weather bookmarks.
