This is my new favorite thing. I don’t have a CRT to display this on, but I’ll settle for an old 4:3 LCD monitor I have sitting on a shelf in the basement - it’s old and blurry enough to be a reasonable facsimile.

This project aims to bring back the feel of the 90’s with a weather forecast that has the look and feel of The Weather Channel at that time but available in a modern way.

    Thanks!

    Ah, Kiosk mode, I think, is literally brand new. There was an issue/request he was working on for that, and I did a build from that branch yesterday. As I was building my Docker image from that, it was literally getting new commits as I was building it. Talk about bleeding edge haha.

    I’ll check that out again now that he may have merged it into main. Mine only has the configuration URL string to preset the options/location. You still have to click “fullscreen” on the weather window thing.

    This one is in JS. I was referring to the parent project that required IIS and seems to be in C# (I didn’t dig too deep into it). That’s where I bailed out. If there were Docker instructions for that one, I wouldn’t have seen them as IIS is basically an instant deal breaker for me lol. Too much pain and misery in my past to ever want to deal with that again 😆

    Update: Yep, latest release works amazing, including Kiosk mode. No need for my custom build anymore.
