- Create utils/mapclick.mjs with centralized MapClick API functionality
- Refactor modules to use the new utility:
- Current Weather
- Latest Observations
- Regional Forecast
- Add staleness checking utility for use by modules
- Move common icon parsing logic into module
- Return a "real" icon value during error handling to avoid downstream
consumers from trying to use an icon named "false"
- Use named regex to parse icon URLs based on API specification
The previous logic only checked URL parameters for kiosk mode,
but sticky kiosk can enable kiosk mode from localStorage without
URL parameters. Now checks actual kiosk setting value.
Fix typo in scan line settings name.
- This setting is important to allow creation ofa Home Screen app on iOS/iPadOS
- If kiosk mode is accidentally made sticky, it can be cleared by adding '&kiosk=false` to the URL
- Ctrl-K will now also exit kiosk mode
This adds a `stickyRead` parameter to settings, that means "read it if it's there, but don't write it"
- Replace CSS zoom with CSS transform scaling for better mobile compatibility
- Implement wrapper-based scaling approach that includes both content and navigation bar
- Replace Almanac layout with CSS Grid for better cross-browser layout
- Greatly improve scanline algorithm to handle a wide variety of displays
- Add setting to override automatic scanlines to user-specified scale factor
- Remove scanline scaling debug functions
- Refactor settings module: initialize settings upfront and improve change handler declarations
- Enhance scanline SCSS with repeating-linear-gradient for better performance
- Add app icon for iOS/iPadOS
- Add 'fullscreen' event listener
- De-bounce 'resize' event listener
- Add 'orientationchange' event listener
- Implement three resize scaling algorithms:
- Baseline (when no scaling is needed, like on the index page)
- Mobile scaling (except Mobile Safari kiosk mode)
- Mobile Safari kiosk mode (using manual offset calculations)
- Standard fullscreen/kiosk mode (using CSS centering)
- Remove large JSON data injection from EJS templates
- Add client-side data-loader utility with cache-busting support
- Create server endpoints for JSON data with long-term caching
- Add graceful failure handling if core data fails to load
- Copy JSON data files to dist/data for static hosting
- Update app initialization to load data asynchronously
- Set serverAvailable flag for static builds in gulp task
This reduces HTML payload size and enables better caching strategies
for both server and static deployment modes.
Implement STATIC=1 environment variable to enable browser-only deployment
without proxy server infrastructure. Uses WS4KP_SERVER_AVAILABLE flag to
distinguish between server-backed and static deployments for proper URL
rewriting and User-Agent header handling.
- Add STATIC env var to skip proxy route registration at startup
- Inject WS4KP_SERVER_AVAILABLE flag via EJS template based on STATIC mode
- Update fetch.mjs to conditionally send User-Agent headers based on server availability
- Update url-rewrite.mjs to skip proxy rewriting when server is unavailable
- Use renderIndex helper for consistent template data across dev/prod modes
- Improve music playlist logging
Benefits of integrated approach:
- Single environment variable controls both server and client behavior
- Flag injection happens once at render time, not on every request
- No runtime HTML string manipulation overhead
- Clean separation between server-backed and static deployment logic
- Same codebase supports both deployment modes without duplication
Static mode (STATIC=1): Direct API calls to external services, no caching
Server mode (default): Local proxy with caching and API request observability
