โ๏ธ๐ง Yet another weather app for Singapore
This began with my long-time curiosity on how to convert raster radar images into vector on a map. I've been using Weather.gov.sg's Rain Areas map whenever it rains, so I thought if I could convert that raster image to be used on Mapbox GL JS. I could put the whole raster image on Mapbox but choose to make it vector because I like it smoother.
After few trials and errors, I cooked up the Rain GeoJSON SG
project, a straight-forward API server to convert rain area radar images (Singapore) to GeoJSON.
Since I've gone this far, so I thought "why not?", let's build yet another weather app for Singapore! Thus this project just happens.

2 years later (2020), I revisited this project and rebuilt it:
I've also built an ๐ฑ iOS app.
And... a plethora of open-source projects to make the impossible possible:
rain-geojson-sg
.There are currently 3 channels:
Node.js is required to run this web app. Here's a list of readily-provided scripts:
npm start
- starts a local server for developmentnpm run build
- build the files for production in dist
foldernpm run serve
- starts a local server to preview production build
