engine VS ppg.report

It's not, but I appreciate you sharing this anyway – thank you!

I was referring mostly to GSS: https://gss.github.io/

I think it was an interesting idea that unfortunately didn't really work out. This was before both flex and grid layouts were a thing, so anything new in this space was exciting really. It's a much better css layout world today than it was 8-10 years ago, and particularly grid layout is a very welcome change, but I can't help but think some great ideas have been left by the wayside. Maybe for good reasons, but still.

I'd love to see something like constraint layouts in pure CSS. It's an incredibly powerful tool when building user interfaces.

I was really excited to see GSS (http://gss.github.io), however at the time it was far too slow to be usable in real projects.

It's been a while since I messed with it. IIRC, the way it satisfies the constraints tends to support some really complex adaptive sizing behaviors once you learn to anticipate it. But I never ended up using it seriously, because flex is usually (and possibly always) good enough, and I don't think the web port https://github.com/gss/engine ever saw much adoption. Not completely sure they offered a way of talking about lists of child elements.

Thank you u/aeharding !!! I use ppg.report regularly -- you can Sponsor/support Alexander and his hard work here: https://github.com/sponsors/aeharding

Shows a nicely formatted weather report for flying my paramotor, pulling data in from many different sources :-)

Why use it when you have Windy.com and Windy.app and ppg.report and aviationweather.gov ?

Yep I like ppg.report for quick no fluff wind speeds at different altitudes. When I just want to basics standing in the field or driving to an LZ, Windy is for large screen analyses at home days beforehand.

PPG.report (web) - I have it as an Icon on my iPhone for quick access to the NOAA GFS model data, which gives you 24 hours of wind predictions at different altitudes. It is not always accurate, but it IS predicting a solid 20 km square. I prefer this now over RyanCarlton.com because there are weather forecasts and airspace restrictions built in. It's very pretty too! I think Alexander Harding lurks in here. You can see and view the code for the website too. You can donate to Alexander's work on Github as well.

So excited for colors outside of sRGB! I make good use of display-p3, currently only supported in Safari, on https://ppg.report.

Flying my paramotor is one of the things I love to do in my free time, and this project (weather report for paramotor pilots) is the result of that!

I like ppg.report, but I always thought it was just a re-skined version of wind.ppgzone.com

https://ppg.report/ and RyanCarlton.com show you CAPE and CIN.

It only works if your location is within 30 miles of an airport. In which case you will see a little widget in the header, as seen here: https://github.com/aeharding/ppg.report/releases/tag/v2.1.0
