Built a MyAcurite replacement in an afternoon is anyone interested in a free repo?
MyAcurite is going away so I built a replacement app in an afternoon. It was mostly to prove a point to these companies. Building one of these isn’t hard.
I’m testing it now with my AWN (Ambient Weather Network) account. The catch is you have to deploy your own server (something like fly.io works fine) and bring your own API keys to process the AWN data. So not exactly plug and play yet.
If folks here would actually use this, I’m happy to publish a GitHub repo with a full how-to so anyone comfortable with a server deployment can run it themselves for free.
If enough people would rather skip all that, I’d put in the work to host the processing side as a web portal. That version could include the DNS redirect option for people who still have the hub, plus maybe other data sources. It would have to be a small subscription just to cover hosting. I’m not rich, so I can’t pay the server bill for everyone, but I’m not trying to make money off it either.
Anyone want any of this? Trying to figure out if it’s worth more effort or if I should just throw the repo up and call it good. Thanks.
