This is a simple static site, hosted on GitHub Pages that uses the NASA API for the background, calculates local time, works out the weather and seconds since I was born and displays the background, the current time in HH:MM:SS, the weather including temperature in Celsius, wind speed in mph and the chance of rain, the 'uptime' (days since I was born).
I used a macondo guide for this project!
I will use this to see this crucial information every day at a glance.
In the future, I may expand this project to maybe show the NASA image, or a a selection of personal photos that it rotates through.
A single static page that reads three different APIs to make a custom homepage you can set as your browser's new-tab background. NASA picks the picture, JavaScript handles the clock, and Open-Meteo pulls live weather for wherever you're sitting.
- Live NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day background
- Real-time digital clock (HH:MM:SS)
- Live weather using Open-Meteo API
- Temperature (°C)
- Wind speed (mph)
- Chance of rain (%)
- Geolocation-based weather detection
- Seconds since birth uptime counter
- Fully responsive browser homepage dashboard
