kiosk mode

[test2a]

hi. i am interested in setting up wttr.in as an alternative to https://github.com/n0bel/PiClock which happens to have a lot of moving parts. if we see this image we can see it has just a few ingredients, time, current weather and a forecast. the map is not relevant. (i want to use it in kisok mode on a monitor full time as a digital clock) i suppose wttr.in can do it in a much simpler way but i am not sure how to to format curl. the default curl is full page but does not have a big clock. wttr does have "%T" but how to format it

my questions.

1. current weather
2. time current weather can be from the system so no need to query wttr and weather can be hourly or 2 hourly but i do not know how to format the query to combine these two.

also, any pointers in using cron to display it in terminal and use the hourly or two hourly to refresh the weather? ,

Several questions:

• Do you want to have the graphical mode or text mode with pseudographics a-la v2.wttr.in would satisfy you too?
• Do you want to do final rendering on the client side, or you want to get the whole image from the server?

That's a couple of questions to start with

my idea is a simple curl in a full screen terminal that is refreshed after a specified time. the current implementation simply shows the weather which is fine but i would like a clock and some arrangement of current weather. forecast can be shown or not according to taste

the current weather would be side by side to a digital clock.

Digital clock in the ASCII mode? Yes, I think it would be possible. By the way, have you seen https://v2.wttr.in/Munich ?
