Hello,

Nice project. Could make it working on an old Kindle Touch, with Kual without navigation border.

Couldn't have the local neither the js working on my own server, so using the url query parameters on it.

Thanks!

Could you elaborate on the steps needed to get it without a border?

About time on two lines, send me please a screenshot. I will look at it. (I think it is problem with AM/PM identificator, because i don't use it)

I did like this, using kual. I installed it many years ago... and was still working.

Do you have kual installed?

I don't know today about kual installation, I didn't tried it on my 2 paperwhites. I guess you have to be careful with it...

Hi! I've been looking at this project for some months now as I have an old keyboard kindle lying around waiting to be used. I was trying to edit the HTML code using my very limited knowledge as i was trying to add a few more hourly forecats boxes at the bottom of the screen (e.g. have an hourly forecast).

Long story short, i found that the current API provides the forecast in 3 hour slots (every 3 hours) and also realised there is a new API called "One Call API 3.0".

Are there any plans to update this dashboard to use that API?
Thanks!

Hi @gonzule, i have no plan to migrate to One Call API, because One Call API is subscription based API, you have to add your payment details to use it, even that 1000call/day are free. I don't want to force users to register the non free API to use my project, and also i don't want to publish my non free API key to use without own key.

But feel free to fork the project and update

Hi @matopeto, thanks so much for sharing your project!

I'm working with a Kindle PW running 5.17, and am trying to run the project from the device directly. However, when I go to access the file (or any file) via the web browser at file:///mnt/us/weather/index.hmtl, I get an error message that pops up:

Invalid Protocol
The web browser cannot download files using this protocol. Only HTTP and HTTPS protocols are supported.

Is there an additional step needed to be able to access the file system through the kindle web browser? I've also jailbroken my kindle using the latest winter break instructions, so I'm not sure if that could be part of the problem.

Thanks again for sharing your project, it has been a lot of fun to play with setting it up!
