Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Node-RED nodes for The Weather Company and Weather Underground Personal Weather Station APIs

These nodes replace the depreciated node-red-node-weather-underground with new TWC apis for querying wunderground.com Personal Weather Station (PWS) data.

The set of nodes in this package implement the APIs for Personal Weather Station Contributors.

The Weather Company provides TWC Weather Data Packages that are available for purchase. Node-RED nodes in this package implement select API services.

If you are building Call for Code Global Challenge solutions that fight climate change, you can register and receive a time-limited free trial TWC API key to assist in your projects. This TWC API key can be used for many of the Node-RED nodes in this node-red-contrib-twc-weather package.

Install

Either use the Editor - Menu - Manage Palette - Install option, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red).

npm install node-red-contrib-twc-weather

Usage

Register your Personal Weather Station at wunderground and copy your PWS Station ID and API Key into these Node-RED nodes.
