teaser for my little winter project.

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

-
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... π€¨
hitting the ground running because of all the code reuse. thanks Bobby.

@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?

@hbons Ui looks good

@hbons I'd love to see your designing process for those gnome icons

@hbons Resources has some pretty good looking graphs, but I don't know if they're the kind you're after...

@salkeld totally yes. will have a look!

bit of margin tweaking to align the icon with the spinner when clicked.

@hbons In cases like these you can usually use a Gtk.Stack and halign and valign the children to the center

boom. bar charts.
just using a GtkFrame and styling with CSS.
the line graph will be trickier, but thinking about generating an SVG and displaying that.

@hbons Spitting out SVG is probably the easiest thing, esp if you can generate it in abstract units for ease and just scale when rendering.

@ross only concern is would it respond to theme changes? maybe a redraw hook and it will be ok?
