I understand that WeatherUnderground no longer allows "free access"
to their data files, such as with the SyncWx utility. That utility
allowed the BBS to show the forecast for the users location. Does
anyone know if SyncWx is being updated??
It is not being updated. The person who was last maintaining it has abandoned it.
Unfortunately, that has been the case with so many BBS programs and utilities.
I had a look a while ago and realized the only thing I would retain
after fixing it would be the icons. I wasn't too interested in the
project at the time so I didn't bother.
The code is on GitHub if anyone wants to fix it. I created an OpenWeatherMap library which could be useful. Might be exec/load/owm.js
or something like that.
Well, I never got into coding, programming, etc., so that's out for me.
I have another API with OpenWeather with the ham radio application of
D-Rats, but I don't know if I can use the same API with more than one application.
