To say truth, it is not just a wego as a service since many years, but is started like that indeed

Now it has a lot of additional features:

* one-line output for status lines

* astronomical information

* translation to 70+ languages

* geolocation

* full fledged multilingual location search

* HTML frontend

* PNG frontend

* Slack support

* scalable architecture (it handles 10M+ queries daily for the moment of writing, with avg processing time under 30 msec)

It took one weak for the initial wego-as-a-service wrapper implementation, and more than 4 years (and 99 contributors) for the rest.

But we of course honor wego, and mention it in the README, and on each HTML page in browser
