metmar

What is it?

metmar is a trivial proxy to fetch French marine weather forecasts on north Brittany area and reformat them in plain text. The motivation for this is instead of grabbing megabytes of Javascript, banners and ads which obviously fail to load in poor network conditions, you get a readable forecast in a single GET request. Isn't that nice?

Extra Services

The main service is run with "serve" command. Another service started with "gale" scans a directory for saved weather forecasts, extract the gale warning number if any and display it agains the day in the year. I am curious to see how it evolves.
