### Functionality:

Originally inspired by [Currently Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/currently/ojhmphdkpgbibohbnpbfiefkgieacjmh?hl=en)

But simpler, more stripped down and customizable.

- Weather (with hourly forecast)

Future improvements:

- Weather alerts

- manually configured location
