Show HN: Brolly, a plain-text weather forecast site
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Brolly is a plain-text weather forecast site for York, UK, built with PocketBase.
The site shows current conditions (overcast, 20°C, feels 16.5°C, wind 17/34 mph), today's forecast, and a weekly table with conditions, temperature, wind, and precipitation for each day. Hourly breakdowns for temperature, precipitation (with probability), UV index, air quality, and pollen are also displayed. Data is sourced from Open-Meteo and includes historical comparisons.
What commenters are saying
Commenters praised Brolly's compact, retro aesthetic and compared it favorably to wttr.in, though many noted it is not true plain text (HTML rendered to look like one). Several requested a curl-able text/plain endpoint and better location search (e.g., "Raleigh, NC" fails). Suggestions included adding humidity, dew point, wind direction, sunrise/sunset times, and Unicode weather symbols. A few reported slow load times, possibly due to the custom font.
