teaser for my little winter project.

@Kilian thank you. spent like 3 days on the icon alone.
@hbons worth it
-
@hbons I don’t know what the app is but I like the tech involved

-
@hbons ooooooh that looks nice
-
@hbons An aurora forecasting app..?

several people told me (unprompted) that they liked my "micro dev blogging" for Bobby on here.
so fave if you want to see my failures in real time for the next one.

alright let's get started!
got a backend that mirrors+archives to SQLite (hence Bobby) space weather data from the NOAA. and you'll be able to self-host a mirror.
now to write a beautiful aurora dashboard in #gtk #libadwaita UI!
#linux #opensource #gnome #design

the NOAA space weather data does not have an API. it's a bunch of undocumented random .json files behind a CDN that sometimes partially cuts cached files.
so I wanted to have something reliable to work with first.
it's... interesting for an official government agency... 🤨

@ewen oh I've hyperfocused a bunch of trippy ideas don't worry.

hitting the ground running because of all the code reuse. thanks Bobby.

@hbons hey this is super cool! you might want to look into how home assistant fetches some of this? I use this to keep an eye on things https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/aurora/

@eljojo oh nice! didn't know that existed.

@hbons Might be repeating myself, but that is one damn nice app icon.

been a while since I used a Grid (probably GTK2 days). and being able to set relative positions to other items is a lot more intuitive and less clunky than hardcoding edge numbers.
also <sub> and <sup> texts are working nicely for scientific notations!

@hbons Is this with XML or Blueprint or something else?

@garrett just in code right now. will add Blueprint later.

.almost done with the low hanging fruit. now need to add graphs over time.
best way to do that?
