(Back to) omWeather as the bundled weather app in CalyxOS?
1 project | /r/CalyxOS | 5 Dec 2023

I tried out the new omWeather and I definitely like it even better now. It uses a different data source, open-meteo.com, which doesn't require an API key the way OpenWeatherMap does, has better location search, has working sunrise/sunset time display, and a more informative main screen widget with observation and forecast information.

How to hide API key?
1 project | /r/webdev | 9 May 2023

I ran into this exact problem almost a year ago now when I first started learning. Simple answer is you can’t unless you build your own server and use environment variables. My solution was to use an API that doesn’t need a key.
