The page at the top looks perfectly fine. It’s useful, it gets the job done and it’s lightweight.
It’s almost fine. It needs to include units for the measurements.
almost as good as the motherfucking website. :D
I like the better motherfucking website
Good, that we have specialists for both and nobody is advocating that everyone should be doing full-stack work… oh wait.
As a full stack developer I can assure you I can easily produce the result displayed in both those panels in the image 😏
In fact, I probably will make both of those first intentionally or not.

Full-stack development and devops: When you need an entire IT department but only want to pay for one person.
“Full-stack” is just a term invented by stingy employers who try to get 2 for the price of 1
Specialists, ah I wish I could experience that. Maybe then I would be able to see my long lost love c++ again. Instead, I must give my love freely. Javascript, Java, Kubernetes, Go, many names flit through when profit is the goal. Someday maybe, hopefully, ChatGPT will end my tired soul.
A highly compatible design with no ads, unnecessary images, videos, animations, scripts that goes straight to point delivering you exactly the information you need and nothing else? Something that’s easily accessible even with old feature phones allowing older people to get information easily?
Simply something that loads instantly and just works?Who would want that?
Found the backend dev. “CUT THIS AESTHETICS NONSENSE! GIMME THE VARIABLE CONTENTS ALREADY! WE’RE 3.54 NANOSECONDS BEHIND!”
Frontend: “Come on, this needs at least some flair. This isn’t the 90s.”
Throws React at it
React ugh, everybody is using NextJs these da- …oh, what’s that? We’ve moved on already?
yeah, just css is enough.
you don’t need js unless you need to fetch data dynamically.
you can do all of your animations, dropdowns and transitions in css.
like this menu i made. no js in sight.also fully accessible and you can tab right into it without clicking enter or whatever
(and respects prefers-reduced-motion)
As a backend developer who occasionally has to work on the frontend, that top image is pretty accurate although it requires bootstrap smeared all over to pretty things up a bit. After that it will have the “Good Enough” seal of approval.
God I wish weather pages were more like that first one.
I like to use this one: https://wttr.in/
You can get info for a specific city by appending it like this: https://wttr.in/newyork
Tysm
It seems to be down right now, but if i remember correctly this one also works when you are using a terminal and curl, i.E.
curl wttr.in/newyorkEdit: It works again, you can use the command as written above :D
Nice thanks.
Also: Real websites like this don’t have DRM. GOOGLE.
that’s what i call a sexy website

What is this bloat? Trash site.
Honestly you don’t even need to make the text field visible. If they can’t touch-type that’s on them.
I would prefer a dropdown list of all possible coordinate combinations.
Pfft just go there and feel the air yourself. Knowing the weather in advance is bloat anyway. If medieval sailors could launch ships without weather info and survive 30% of the time, you can too.
Imagine having to rely on physical senses to determine the weather, how pathetic. Honestly if you can’t infer weather patterns from learned data then better get back to that CSS.
Looks like a perfectly fine frontend to me.
No bloat, no Javashit, no problem
After some time toying with CSS I have decided to fuck it and whenever I need to make a website I will just either:
- Make a plain website with no virtually no styling.
- Use bootstrap or some other similar shit.
I used to like bootstrap. Still do. But it has some faults… Depending on your needs you’re loading a lot of CSS you aren’t using.
Bootstrap 5.3 is 59kb before gzip. 6700 lines of code. That’s a lot to just apply some simple styles.
There are a ton of lighter weight alternatives nowadays.
it is a required subject at my school
what is wrong with this frontend? not enough ads? loads too quickly?
Honestly, no units
No designated time zone.
I would hire you as my lawyer.
just missing some flexbox basically
love me some flexbox
No cookie banner with the worst dark patterns of UX imaginable
From my experience, devs be like:
Backend, yay! Frontend, nay! … and I the end, not even the backend works properly.
So in the end, it doesn’t even matter?
I TRIED. SO. HARD.

BUT IN THE END, THE SERVER THREW AN ERROR
I’m ops so I just get to enjoy how confused they get when their shit only works locally.
A proper backend developer would have the query be a URL using the GET method with a parameter that the user can fill-in directly in the address bar and the result be a text/plain page with just a bunch of numbers separated by pipe characters (or an application/json page with that info encoded as JSON if you wanna be fancy).
This has the added advantage of working both for humans and as an API for use in machine to machine communications via HTTP.
why am i both
What if I want the weather in Paris, TX?
You need to fire a gun and to a really good bald eagle impression.
