EPAUV

=====

This is a project started by a few FOSS@RIT hackers in Rochester, NY for the

first-ever National Day of Civic Hacking. We hope to expose publicly-available

UV index data provided by the Environmental Protection Agency to create an

attractive, interesting interface to this data.

Front Page

==========

The front page is a simple 3 column view that gives a quick description,

provides a form for inputting your Zipcode, and links to the project source and

license.

Desktop View

============

This is a screenshot of what the results look like from a desktop view. The

index shown at the top is calculated by checking the time the page was visited

against the hourly index. The colors are mapped to the severity levels listed

on the EPA informational website.

Mobile View

===========

As the page was designed using Unresponsive CSS, we get a fluid page that

scales with the size of the viewport (aka we get mobile friendly pages without

having to write separate code just for mobile devices.)

Hourly Results

==============

Hourly results for the day are colored based on UV Index severity, and include

tips and advice based on EPA information, such as time until skin damage, and

precautions to take based on UV Levels.

Getting Started

---------------

We hack on this project in a virtualenv, and you should, too!

EPAUV requires that you have the ``python-lxml`` package installed.

This is used by pygal to generate coolio SVG diagrams.
