No hate perceived on my end! To answer your question, I built it for a few reasons:

• I wanted to learn Rust, so I used this project to do that
• I really love TUI’s and I pretty much live in my command line at work, and since I already automate everything I can to make my work life easier, I wanted to be able to do the same with my homelab
• I think it looks cool
• For fun. If no one else ever gets use out of it, that’s okay! I just really enjoyed building it and I’m excited to build out more of it.

But also: Why not?

That’s amazing. Hello fellow Alex! 😂

You’re the first person to catch the reference! Sadly, no I’m not. But I was a prolific PSP modder as a kid so I knew his name and was very familiar with him. So, in my adult life, since he had such a big impact on me, my username is made after him! My real name is Alex so it just kind of worked.

Of course! There’s a lot of work remaining to be done to add support for other features, Servarrs, etc. So contributions are very welcome! ☺️

I can’t speak for other countries, but for the U.S, all weather apps get the majority of their data from the National Weather Service. This includes apps like AccuWeather. The NWS publishes all weather data free and open, so it’s likely this app gets U.S. based weather information from there.
