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.
For me (in firefox) whole screen froze for a sec/two when lightning hit.

TUI twice (1) a day. Interesting tendency.

I'm convinced we are cycling through the stages of programming as it becomes commoditized.

I propose 'fast coding'.
Like fast fashion, but for software development. One piece of software, one-time use: run, have fun, delete. No maintenance, no support, and no regret.

That reminds me of `curl wttr.in/94110`

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.
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.

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!
Fun idea! Now someone has to write shaders for ghostty
