@nixCraft Super Response/loading times even on bad network Connection 😁

@nixCraft agreed. 😁

@nixCraft +9001%

I want my stuff to be clean, sober and efficient.

In fact, I want all sites to be functionally and user-experience - identical on both #Lynx and other #TUI #Browsers and regular ones like #Firefox...

@nixCraft front-end Devs should receive a chonky pay cut for each additional second of loading time

@nixCraft short, sweet and to the point

@nixCraft
When you ask frontend devs to write the backend, you get %^&*ing Node.js!

@nixCraft + it works well with darkReader

@nixCraft

Needs a little CSS magic to pass, but it's good.

@nixCraft data there – all good. 👍 😆

@nixCraft @jpm fair. But have you seen a front end dev write a backend. Service.

@nixCraft @jpm probably loads in 800ms

@nixCraft Honestly, whack a stylesheet on that and no-one will know.

@nixCraft works on quite every browser from the past 30 years :D

@nixCraft Why the overhead of a browser? Just use `curl https://wttr.in`

@Nixcraft @mschfr extremely close to an api, Json output is what I've expected.

@nixCraft I came to give encouragement on the economical use of front-end elements, I wasn't expecting to be attacked by a meme like this!

@nixCraft
Probably doesn't have any accessibility issues either. Unironically better than many "modern" UIs

@nixCraft Also gets fully saved by the WayBack Machine archiver.

@nixCraft Do today's backend devs really think a city name is unambiguous?

@nixCraft yep

@nixCraft Me, a designer:

@nixCraft so… somehow that’s bad?

@nixCraft
I like it. The units are missing, though.

@nixCraft This looks like every webui I have ever created.

@nixCraft It's good. To be excellent, it just needs some CSS. :-)

@nixCraft @amyengineer and I can use curl or lynx to cleanly read the page. Hell yeah.

@nixCraft this is me! Why complicate?

@nixCraft looks good to me

@nixCraft I love brutalist style here

@nixCraft Nice but I would prefer something like this in terminal

sudo apt install weather
weather paris

Now I need to Google if something like this already exists..

@nixCraft @pseudonym

Just the facts, Ma’am.

@nixCraft superior UX

@nixCraft Close to perfect I‘d say — let‘s ask them to provide such a frontend for every application!!
Works great in textmode browsers. Disabled people have no problem using it with their screen readers. Bandwidth saving. Etc.

Why can‘t all devs deliver such great simplistic UI?

@nixCraft As a webmaster I frequently have to wear both hats. I always start with the functionality. My clients are forever asking, is this really what it's gonna look like? 😅

@nixCraft Just plain and simple information you want.What else do you need?

@nixCraft 😂

@nixCraft Seems good to me: it’s to the point, it’s obvious how to use it, and I bet it loads very quickly.

And hey, it probably works with assistive technologies out of the box because it builds an HTML form and doesn’t wrap it with a bunch of unnecessary custom controls rendered in DIV elements.

Perhaps the page could use some CSS, but it certainly doesn’t need React/Angular/ExtJS/whatever.

@nixCraft works with Lynx. What's the problem?

@nixCraft It loads bloody fast too!

@nixCraft

TBH, that looks very similar to the testing interface I slapped on the DFA compiler at work to show off the new things I'd added to the json-based API.
