For that page it is certainly good enough. And it is in line of recommended CSS in thread about high contrast browsing. I am poking around different issues with presentation of color page on e-ink in grayscale so I thought to give it a try. Maybe if I use some of those proposed CSS styles from that thread but find the way to implement such filter to images only I might get somewhere? Thanks Renate for reminding me to look again in that thread!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
Since people are talking about this so much, this might be useful: https://github.com/matopeto/kindle-weather-dashboard

The "test" site does not display well on either Opera Mobile or Opera Mini, mainly due to missing icons and unit characters. But if you're considering your own "host" you can fix those sorts of things.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
For now I can confirm that on PC with Opera 12.18 (that is the version I could find available for Windows closest to the one running on NST) CSS style from thread High contrast browsing work better then my first attempts but are still little skinny if you know what I mean. Not pale just not "fat enough". Maybe if I force bold script somehow it might show better? Thanks everyone for showing interest in this!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
I'm still pursuing the weather.gov API.

I had originally thought that I wanted a "forecast". Wrong.

The under-advertised API endpoint is (example) https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/TOP/31,80

https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/TOP/31,80/forecast is generated/summarized from the simpler URL.

Still, it gives you 288 kB of gooble-dee-gook, including temperatures to 16 decimal places.

I'm pretty sure that they're not that good at forecasting.

So now I have stuff like % sky cover and prob of precip so I don't need to parse for "partially cloudy" or "slight chance rain"
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
LOL! I know your pain. Man would think all the lectures about number of significant figures would pay of in the end but obviously not the case. Some of us living outside of imperial metric system run into this more often then you would think. Usually because some obviously poor student have found a formula for conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius scale but forgot to round the result to reasonable number of digits within expected reading error. That file size is nothing do not let that discourage you! I am very pleased that you are progressing (and with good ideas I must say) with that even if I personally would not benefit from your work as neither weather.gov nor brightsky cover mine location. I will obviously track other source of data.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
I visited test site from PC and it looks OK. I remember vaguely that you could set in user css style to use web based fonts end such. Maybe that can be exploited? Or can we just import those icons and special character sets into app (in this case obviously Opera)?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
I looked at the test site too. I just got a blank with boxes at the bottom.

In any case, it's like 12,000 lines of JavaScript.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
My bad. When member @andjohn originally posted about this he gave the following URL: http://kindle.hrincar.eu/weather/

This works fine on my PC (but not with the Opera browsers).
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
Test site work from portable Opera 12.18 on PC with Win7 and from my old Tablet with Android 4.2.2 and IceCatMobile browser (that I believe is some fork of Firefox browser). Still I believe that Renate is complaining about page source code output might be some Java gobbled gunk. I failed to check that from PC and browser on tablet does not have an option to check page code. Still if I understand right since it use OpenWeatherMap that git might solve my source problem and if so many thanks to nmyshkin for finding that one. Opera working on NST is 12.1 am I right about that?

EDIT: Just checked OWM. It offers either JSON or XML or HTML based API. Also it supposedly works with curl, wget and HTMLPie what ever that might be and Python to hook them all up I guess.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
Apparently I meant the time utility package that they're using: https://github.com/matopeto/kindle-...b/master/vendor/moment/moment-with-locales.js

I actually got this to work for the first time. Before it was always blank.

I usually like XML, but it's a bit verbose and there is the ambiguity:

<cat color="red"/>
<dog><color>green</color></dog>

I updated my weather stuff.

I've got a daemon split off to do the fetching and aggregating.

There are clients for text or HTML.

I'll add a graphic option to make panels for my NST status display.

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
Nice progress Renate! I just dropped by to say that regular readers view on Firefox based browser does not work for wttr site. Current weather gets fine rest is all frame shifted and unreadable. Funny thing although is that readers view is on white background with black font so it might turn out its not all lost cause.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
Well, a lot of this is figuring out what works esthetically.

One of the weather.gov sources "forecast" is aggregated on 12 hour periods.

But they choose 6A-6P, 6P-6A local time.

With heat delay I can imagine the coldest part of the day after 6 AM or the hottest after 6 PM.

I've chosen to divide it up 9A-9P, 9P-9A

Now, I'm going crazy figuring out fonts.

The later Androids have /system/etc/system_fonts.xml & /system/etc/fallback_fonts.xml

I thought that the NST had DroidSans.ttf as the "normal font".

What is the font?

Edit: Apparently it's HelveticaNeue.ttf

It seems to be set inside /system/lib/libskia.so

Apparently it's very hard to determine.

I ended up drawing a very large letter and doing an MD5 on it and comparing it to the results of everything in /system/fonts.

DEFAULT
HelveticaNeue.ttf (normal)
SANS_SERIF
DroidSans.ttf (normal)
SERIF
DroidSerif-Regular.ttf (normal)
MONOSPACE
DroidSansMono.ttf (normal)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
I could not find right now some other implementation of weather app to show what I will write next. From my memory how the weather data are collected they are gathered at specific time intervals so that maximum and minimum temperature is also recorded. Later when they also manage to made thermometers capable to readout maximum and minimum temperature they didn't abandon time logging the data. I am almost certain that time they choose for approximate maximum temperature logging is 13:00h local time. It is logical if you think about it. Maximum of Sun height over horizon is at noon and add time for heat up from ground to air. For minimum temperature is little harder as there could be up to two minimum points morning/evening. So there is nothing wrong with choice they made for 6AM/6PM data shown yet Renate is right about maximum temperature would be missing in such format. If you could just retain what they offer and add 13:00h estimate from the other file you would make it just fine. You will get morning temperature (time most people go to work), estimate for maximum temperature (13:00h) and evening temperature (people either return from work or going in cinema/pub). As I understood you manage to add cloud cover and probability of precipitation already.

As for fonts problem well I looked little test page code of that Kindle app nmyshkin reported in this thread and it seems to be linked to a git folder for fonts or icons do not remember 100%. Still that is OK if you have Wi-Fi on all the time but we do not want that. Fire up the Wi-Fi , get the data, turn Wi-Fi off and see the data when you want that. I do not see why font/icons could not be mirrored to a local folder and adjust code accordingly.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] igor_chubin:
Hi everybody, wttr.in author here.

I am really happy that you tried to use wttr.in for your purposes and you found it helpful.

I would like to mention several things, which are perhaps already known to you, or may be not yet; they are unsorted, and unstructured, just a bunch of remarks that came to my mind after reading the thread.

1. wttr.in has several view options, like:

* https://wttr.in (classics)

* https://v2.wttr.in/ (plots)

* https://v3.wttr.in/ (region based)

All of course work in the terminal, i.e. you can curl them directly,

like:

curl v2.wttr.in

which is not relevant for this forum probably,

but still can be useful.

2. wttr.in supports one-line format output (with emojis) etc,

which can be used like:

$ curl wttr.in/Paris?format=4

Paris: ☀️ 🌡️+9°C 🌬️↙28km/h

(here, instead of 4, special format line can be specified)

3. wttr.in supports also JSON output format.

4. PNG output format is supported too, i.e. if you want

to embed weather info you can use wttr.in/Paris.png

or you can specify query options directly in the queried filename (e.g. wttr.in/Paris_YOUR_OPTIONS.png)

5. You can specify query options in URL, e.g. for narrow output (n), the query will look like https://wttr.in/Paris?n

6. More options can be found at https://wttr.in/:help

7. wttr.in is absolutely free and open source.

8. wttr.in is up and running since Feb 2016, for more than 5 years now; it handles approx 10-15M queries daily for the moment.

If you have some feature requests, let's discuss them, I will be happy to help. May be something works already, and something could be easily added/implemented
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
Thanks Igor! I'm the culprit who mentioned web page of your app in this thread. I have also spotted git messages where other people wish to use your app in e-ink reader asked about how to change background/foreground color scheme to something more useful for e-ink reader. I already spotted an option to use airport code on your page and I am glad to know that city name will work also. I so far played around with CSS styles to get view more suitable for e-ink screen but also have noticed that reader view within a browser give good background/foreground color scheme but alas shifts formatting completely. You would save many people a lot of time and trouble if you have ability to correct that as that might be good enough for lot of e-readers much younger than this device we talk here about. I will check the help page of the app definitely as there just might be all I need. This thread is/was for weather app that stopped working as device is ancient and ever since people look out for replacement for it. Your page certainly reinvigorated the topic and stirred up a will to make some new effort and solutions for the problem.

Edit: http://wttr.in/Belgrade_T_background=FFFFFF.png or similar might work for me!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] igor_chubin:
Yes, you are right; we are currently try to find good styling (combination of colors, fonts, etc) that would work for e-ink well. Here you can find a coupld of photos, screenshots:

WTTR.IN Color Scheme · Issue #590 · chubin/wttr.in

The color scheme is too dark on Kindle Paperwhite devices. Possible to make lighter: color scheme selection on the site?

github.com

As you can see, some combinations work better, some worse,

but we still didn't find the ideal one.

You can check these pages, to see how they look like on your devices:

Weather report: Nuremberg, Germany

wttr.in

Weather report: Nuremberg, Germany

wttr.in

Weather report: Nuremberg, Germany

wttr.in

Weather report: London

wttr.in

We can definitely find good styling that would work well for your device.

Coukd you please post a couple of screenshots, so that I could understand what must be fixed?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
Results variate from device and browser used. In Firefox type of browser link I posted before works almost perfect on my tablet with ugly border that I am certain I can solve with custom user CSS style for your page. On PC from Opera portable version that is closest to the one working on NST results with high contrast browsing custom CSS work fine just a little pale so I was forced to add font-weight: bold in CSS and now it looks just fine even without forcibly setting background to white. Language is nice touch. Someone else must give you the screen capture from NST. I tried adding print options in custom CSS style to see will it change anything and although it is still shifted funny enough it gives better results then more modern browser reader view.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
Just my WIP.

The NST is mounted on a gooseneck up high.

I'm still using the same 1/4-20 T nut mount but I use an adapter to 5/8-27 microphone stuff.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] igor_chubin:
Have you checked the links that I've posted above?

There are some high-contrast pages, and some with bold font.

Anyway, as soon as you will find some good looking style,

feel free to send it to me, so that we could ad it to the server side, and make it available for other NST users
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
I have seen the links you have added Igor. It matches the results I get using custom user CSS on this client side. There are some funny results using options from help. Sometimes it works as you expect and sometime it doesn't. Sometimes change from ? to _ means a lot and sometime it just throws an error.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] igor_chubin:
I am working on the next major version of wttr.in where options handling will be much stricter.

For the moment it is so:

1. _ should be used with and only with PNG queries

2. ? should be used with all other types of queries (text, ansi, html)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
Save/Print as PDF from portable Opera using user high contrast browsing CSS style (test.pdf). You will notice that some misalignment shows up. Not terrible looking contrast wise but purist might object it being slightly broken looking.

I will add here later screenshots of couple different tests from tablet that are slightly wierd by result and I do not mean that in a bad way some of that might just be a starting point for improvement for e-reader devices. Stay tuned those images are at my home I write this from work.

EDIT: I uploaded three files more from my tablet. If after city/town name I put ? instead of _ result is always black background. Language seems not to be incorporated in PNG which I sort of understand. Most interesting to me is that in one case color of the fonts and "icons" is preserved despite background change to white. That is not bad for new color e-ink devices maybe but I am uncertain how will that look on 16 shades grayscale screen most older generation e-ink readers have. Regarding solving problem of frame shifting server side I think that is most reasonable solution yet I can not tell you what be best solution. E-readers support different formats and while NST can rather poorly support PDF file reading can not tell you for others.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] igor_chubin:
BTW, would be server side PDF rendering a solution? wttr.in generates PNG already, it can generate PDFs too
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
Igor see my previous post in this thread. I edited it and added new screen captures. I have since understood how to add language properly on page by adding language shorty like fr. or de. or whatever before wttr. In this way language stay incorporated in PNG.

In regards of format I hope some other forum members will be of more help then me. It all comes down to the intended way of access and use I guess. Things I have shown here are browser view. This device have some issues with new web certificates and for how long it will be able to use browser is questionable. From what other members have told me before curl might be a way to go. Ask nmyshkin about curl on NST. And Renate used JSON on this device before. I think that if it can be solved for one e-reader it can work on all of them (Kindle, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony).
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
It seems that Igor have added pdf support from server side on his site.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
FWIW, I've changed my mind on what "daytime" is and settled on 8A-8P

9A is too late for the start and 6A doesn't acknowledge heat inertia.

For you nautical types, that aligns it with eight bells.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] igor_chubin:
No, I didn't do it yet, but I can add it.

As far as I can judge from the screenshots, the best color scheme would be black on white, without any colors; and the rest (font, font size, etc) stays the same. This could be converted into HTML, PNG or PDF on the server side. That''s how I see the solution
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] SJT75:
http://sr.wttr.in/Beograd?AQFT.pdf

Either my browser started to create PDF out of page by default or there exist some kind of support for the PDF.

Edit: There is something wrong with this. Landscape is fine but if I turn device to portrait orientation page reload itself into a crap. No resizing/reflowing just same content passed through a concrete mixer. Also PDF file could not be saved and opened in PDF viewer. Strange bug.I tried to add printing media options in user CSS style but I do not think this is result of something I done. It seems that page ignore .PDF at the end and shows HTML most likely. If same page is requested but this time desktop version is forced orientation bug vanishes. As for color scheme I agree black on white is just fine for this device and the type of information page contains. Page formatting issues looks like it was more adjusted to be printed on teletype then shown on screen. Personally I have nothing to object at that choice I am more curious would something in the epub line of format which is more adaptable to reformating/reflowing be of any help. PNG is suitable small format and fine choice so I have nothing against that.

Thanks Renate! I figured it somehow myself. Browser let me save page with that link as PDF but it is zero kb file not surprisingly not working with any file viewer. Oh well. It is good enough I guess.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] igor_chubin:
It is not pdf; you specified it after `?` so it is ignored (= interpreted as options `p`, `d` and `f` which have no meaning); options A and T that you specified switched output to plain text output (A), without ANSI (T), so it is no PDF, but it can be easily converted on the server side.

Also try option `n`, it is narrow lay out ( http://sr.wttr.in/Beograd?AQFTn )
