Ws4kp

A live version of this project is available at https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com This project aims to bring back the feel of the 90s with a weather forecast that has the look and feel of The Weather Channel at that time but available in a modern way. This is by no means intended to be a perfect emulation of the WeatherStar 4000, the hardware that produced those wonderful blue and orange graphics you saw during the local forecast on The Weather Channel. If you would like a much more accurate project please see the WS4000 Simulator. Instead, this project intends to create a simple to use interface with minimal configuration fuss. Some changes have been made to the screens available because either more or less forecast information is available today than was in the 90s. Most of these changes are captured in sections below. Nostalgia. And I enjoy following the weather, especially severe storms. Ws4kp is the open-source project netbymatt/ws4kp (https://github.com/netbymatt/ws4kp) by netbymatt, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit e58f32f2fa7b, adding only a manifest, an icon and a storage compatibility script.
