This is my new favorite thing.
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.

Been using this for quite a while. Pair this with some Trammell Starks “Music For Local Forecast” music and you’re set. Those can be found on archive.org.
Nice. I was looking at the light jazz ones from TWCClassics: twcclassics.com/…/playlists-october-1997.html
And the transformation is complete. This is my favorite thing in the world now also.
has the look and feel of …
Has zero screenshots.
Updated the post with some screenshots from my install.
Go on the demo site?
On my phone the map view is just black. Doesn’t matter where I try to view, it’s just black. Screenshots make sure we all see an accurate view regardless of device or whether or not the demo server is up.
Looks nice! I set mine up and have it as an Iframe in Home Assistant. The app is a fork from github.com/vbguyny/ws4kp with his demo site here: battaglia.ddns.net/twc That version has the music we all came to know and love from back then.
I looked at that one, and the demo was cool. When I looked at the hosting steps, though, it mentioned IIS and I pretty much noped out. Lol
From their readme. I asked about that last night and he replied an pointed me to it. :)
Kiosk mode
Kiosk mode can be activated by a checkbox on the page. Note that there is no way out of kiosk mode (except refresh or closing the browser), and the play/pause and other controls will not be available. This is deliberate as a browser’s kiosk mode it intended not to be exited or significantly modified.
It’s also possible to enter kiosk mode using a permalink. First generate a Permalink, then to the end of it add &kiosk=true. Opening this link will load all of the selected displays included in the Permalink, enter kiosk mode immediately upon loading and start playing the forecast.
I didn’t see IIS mentioned, but I didn’t take a close look at the code. They give you a docker run command to set it up, so I converted it to a docker compose file so I can run it later. All of this is running on a Debian 12 system, so if IIS is needed, I’d wager that is if you are running a Windows setup.
I have mine embedded in Home Assistant now as an iframe using the Kiosk mode setting which works.
I thought iframes had been phased out in the latest release of HA? It’s webpages in views now isn’t it? Try updating and having another go (I updated yesterday and haven’t had a play yet but heard about it on the HA podcast btw)
Toss some CRT shaders over top and this would be very convincing.
Sweet. Need to see about running this as an app on my phone for the next port :)
Why not to make it work outside of the US? 🥲
Also, is there world wide accepted Celsius instead of ye olde Fahrenheit?

Aw, I was wondering about that.
