use it to display your local weather forecast from the National Weather Service API?
it gets the current temperature and gives you a short forecast for the next 4 hours or so and updates every 15 minutes, or every time you load the page. The site doesn't use cookies or send anything back to the server, it's purely a client side fetch request to api.weather.gov written in javascript which is a client based language, and the whole site is just html, css, and javascript with no other technology and the site is secured with google managed SSL certificate and does http redirect to https through a google cloud load balancer to the static web page being served from a cloud storage bucket and isn't running on a VM or a physical server.
Also, you have to allow it to have access to your location data by agreeing when it asks upon loading the site, and this can be turned off by clicking on the lock next to the URL and turning off the location permission which is also where you'll see that no cookies are being stored.

omg, y'all are chickens. you talk a lot of shit, but you're scared of a weather app, like it's some kind of a ruse to attack your page file with clocks and dump your physical memory down to the kilobytes and lag your system so hard you can't even soft reset and have to cut the power like it's winter in Texas. Like it works on mobile devices too or something. giving all the time i need to quadrangulate your position based on, what, national weather service observation station ping delays? "well, they have weather stations at a radius of every 2.5 miles across the entire country!" so what? they have real time satellite observational data feeds with resolution down to, what, 2,225,000 square feet? that's barely 0.079 square miles. i guess i'm going to stalk people with thermal imaging from government satellites or something. like i can stop time and control the weather data.

i'm being stupid. i know y'all just don't care. here's a nested planetary gear clock. i have another similar version that runs a 1:512 gear ratio with coaxial internal spur gear idlers that i'm using to try and induce a sympathetic oscillation between high and low frequency modes kind of like the Dzhanibekov effect but with a 60 RPM output from one of these nested planetary transmissions which runs with a 1rpm input. so, a 60 rpm input to a 1:512 ratio unidirectional oscillator. 30,720 RPM, or 1,843,200 rotations an hour, 44,236,800 "ticks" per day. it kind of looks like a standing wave that rocks back and forth, appears to be gears standing still, rocking back and forth, then stop rocking and spin up, and then back down, and then rocks back and forth, and then when it stops it appears to break into two and then when it stops fully you can see it's actually 2 quarters and a rotating counterbalanced double pendulum that are forced into harmonic resonance. it won't actually work IRL because it would probably just explode everywhere or at least wear out since 31,536,000 it the tick rate for most standard clocks in a year. 44 million in a day is.... 16 billion 146 million 432 hundred thousand times a year. 43,200 is what an excellent ultra high beat rate wristwatch does in an hour. i'm trying to reach that number but to do it in 1 minute. using planetary gears.
there are plenty of bearings and motors that hit those kind of numbers. it's just not practical to do it mechanically and as nothing more than a clock. looks cool af though.
