@bjesus I was still using this python version (very often it was not working for unknown reason - it was just not showing the weather in some specific refresh-cycle, next hour after refresh it was OK).
Today I was copying this plugin and config to my new Arch sway machine and the script was working fine from console, but swaybar was complaining about some JSON parsing - weird.
I was googling how to fix this problem and ... I encounter your Rust version which I was not even aware of!
I don't have to say how great news is this!
Your great weather applet is now in rock-solid rust version! Yay! 🎉
Much thank you for this. Now I have it migrated and works like a charm! 🚀 :)
Thanks @manio , such a great message to receive! ❤️ it's nice to have so many people contributing to wttrbar now (14 contributers so far!) and the the strictness of Rust makes it easier to keep it all structured in a sane way.
