Ireland, Measured Today Screensaver
The Ireland, Measured Today screensaver shows hourly observations from a Met Éireann station, key-less from the service's own public API. Every value arrives as a string including the numbers, so anything compared or formatted has to be coerced first. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
