I built wthrtxt because I wanted a weather page I could scan quickly without news, autoplay video, or layers of widgets.

I also wanted the same forecast available from the terminal. Like wttr.in...but I trust the rain potential information from NOAA so much that I want that information front and center. Also some useful information like record highs and lows.

Basically just enough information that I want to see, and nothing else.

Thanks! Had pretty much the same thought process as you, so I made this little tool (yesnotice) to do pretty much that. Its not perfect, but I've been using it a lot and its working great for me (mostly to get notified when certain new packages are updated and TV shows come out...then I don't have to remember so many things!)

Such kind words! I really appreciate it.

Thanks for making the internet a more positive (and springy!) space!

It would be great if you could make a GH issue explaining your use case. I try to reproduce bugs and could possibly find a solution.

Thanks for the kindness :) I use it the same way actually! I don't use any Apple products so that's the major roadblock for me to develop against iOS...

This is actually not uncommon at all for anything on the internet. You can see for yourself actually using this command:

``` > traceroute news.ycombinator.com ```

On my computer, most packets take a route that passes through 10+ computers.

I think its not a solved problem to consistently be able to patch two computers on the internet directly.

Thanks! The usage has only gone up - now in 2023 the croc public relay has been using 20 TB of bandwidth every month :| I like to write software that runs forever, but this will get difficult to run in the future if usage keeps climbing.

I think the main advantage that I like croc over many utilities is that it can resume file transfers from where it left off. I'm not sure if wormhole has this yet. Of course torrents do this, but I find sharing via torrenting still not super easy for the layperson.

Anyone know how the harmonization is derived?
