wolrah: This appears to be a fairly low effort simulation of a WeatherStar 4000, but it's been done much better by someone else here: https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/Also for those of us like me who grew up with a cable provider that still ran the old WeatherStar III, there's this one: https://weatherstar3000.netbymatt.com/
efilife: The one you posted works only for americans
altairprime: [delayed]
wolrah: Were the real things ever available outside of America?Either way, thanks to the wonders of open source here's a fork that works for other parts of the world: https://mwood77.github.io/ws4kp-international/
neko_ranger: perfect to throw on a mini crt looking screen in the kitchen
Waterluvian: This is pretty neat. I think I probably get this transmission on Infochammel.
zoklet-enjoyer: Ughhhh snow storm tomorrow
justsomehnguy: Got really confused why is my WinAmp was double decked there.Thanks!
netghost: Looks great on mobile in portrait mode. Bonus points for the audio.
mrcwinn: This is so much better than their actual website.
kelvinjps10: that one doesn't put my laptop to aspirate and it;s fast
kube-system: Because, IIRC (it has been a while since I’ve looked at the code) it grabs weather from the US National Weather Service… which is also a primary source of data for the original WeatherStar.
rglover: Well done. Added to my home screen. Imagine a daily smooth jazz weather report will soothe the soul nicely.
sigspec: I love how it's built. How they did the blurring and filter stacking. I assumed the whole thing was being streamed in as video.Good job Weather Channel dev. I just wish it would loop forever. Make a loop checkbox at the start screen.Also the music slaps.
scottrogers86: why do i love this so much? nostalgia hitting hard these days.
troad: This may be an age or geography thing, but Weather.com/Retro looks a lot more like the weather channels I remember than either of those two links.Seems a little harsh to call it low effort. It's neat! I just don't think they're trying to recreate the same thing you're expecting.
saltyoldman: Now we just need gen AI weatherwoman with a really really bad bluescreen and have her show the 3d map rotating around randomly toward cities.
