About Speedwx
Speedwx is a website that collects and presents aviation weather provided by NOAA's Aviation Weather Center Data API service. I wrote this website as a fun project to further my experience with full stack web development.
How does Speedwx work? There are 3 main components - a separate backend process that handles NOAA data and maintains the database, PHP code to handle frontend requests primarily by Ajax, and the HTML/CSS/JS frontend itself. The database maintains an entire METAR and TAF history however there is a small fast lookup table and memcache used to serve latest weather. I wrote the site from the ground up using Notepad++ and vsCode. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
This site is still very much in a beta / developmental state and should be treated that way! More features are planned when I get the time.
