Star Wars Weather Forecast
- GotAnyMegadeth 13y agoBristol, UK was destroyed by the Death Star long ago...
- seivan 13y agoFun! Missing permalinks.
- ArekDymalski 13y agoThis is sweet. I just wish there was an option to link directly to a particular city.
- Yaggo 13y agoNice but please push the chosen state to history.
- tomscott 13y agoHello. I'm Tom, and I made this -- more than three years ago. No idea why it's suddenly turned up here; it doesn't exactly fit under 'hacker' or 'news'! It did once have permalinks, but adding translations in 2010 messed things up and I never got around to fixing the code. (Do try picking a RTL language, though, I'm quite proud of how that works.) It should (I think) store the city you've requested in a cookie for next time, though. Maybe. It's really old and dodgy code. Still, full marks for YQL for putting up with all the weather requests they've gotten over the years...
- daniel-levin 13y agoInterestingly the Hebrew version prints Dagobah as Dagobash (דגובאש), and apparently Johannesburg, SA doesn't exist as a city.
- TsiCClawOfLight 13y agoThis is really awesome! Not hacker, but really geeky :) Is there any chance of you cleaning this up and fixing permalinks?
- muloka 13y ago+1 for permalinks as well, it would make sharing this with others a lot easier.
- apapli 13y agoCool site! You have Australia's country code as AS - it's AU. (eg type Melbourne Australia to replicate). Cheers!
- struppi 13y agoAnd it shows Austria as AU which should really be AT.
- maw 13y agoDifferent standards use different abbreviations. Here, Tom is using FIPS: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIPS_country_codes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIPS_country_codes. If it were my site, I'd probably also use AU (and AT), though.
- danjordan 13y agoMy favourite bit is the Konami code.
- RyanMcGreal 13y agoDamascus is currently like Tatooine: 36 degrees C and fair.
- tehwalrus 13y agothis made me smile, thanks! :)
- ritonlajoie 13y agoloved the Utini !
- jpfaraco 13y agoLove this. +1 to permalinks, and would love to see better typography -- IMO replacing Tahoma with Open Sans Regular, or Light would go a long way. And perhaps a serif font for the planet name...
- stcredzero 13y agoThere's no use in an app where you have to look up the readout to interpret the result. That means the potential market for this app are SW geeks who have memorized the climates of planets and moons in Star Wars. Analysis: sizeable market.
