Fortunately someone recreated a clone at https://merrysky.net, which was featured [1] on HN some time ago.
I've used it daily since.
It renders the information totally different. How can it be a clone?
Thanks for the mention! I'm the author of merrysky. Opened to feedback. What would you say you miss the most?
And a toast to its source, the drop-in PirateWeather API: https://pirateweather.net/
Thx bro. I stumbled into this thread thinking it was about something else, and left with a new favorite weather bookmark.
Nice things:
- Loads fast
- Nice vis of both today and week
- Can mouse over the visualizations to get precise readouts.Great rec! Thanks! See also Windy.app (a paid app w/ great dataviz, dx, and robust set of data sources).
Inspired by MerrySky: https://weather-sense.leftium.com
Some differences:
- Shows weather from yesterday for comparison
- All hourly plot trackers connected; not just the top one
- Includes AQI
- Sky color visualization (try scrubbing across dawn/dusk!)
- Non-precipitation colors approximate sky color (haziness)
- Temperature variation visualized both spatially and with colors
- Data source is Open Meteo
- Planned: 60 minutely forecast like https://openweathermap.org
