Denser ASCII graph frontend like ways/fingr project

[poetaman]

It would be nice to have a denser ASCII graph front end like ways/fingr graph.no project.

Weather via finger, graph.no

* Code: https://github.com/ways/fingr/
* https://nominatim.org/ is used for location lookup.
* https://www.yr.no/ is used for weather data.
* Hosted by Copyleft Solutions AS: https://copyleft.no/
* Contact: finger@falkp.no

Usage:
    finger oslo@graph.no

Using coordinates:
    finger 59.1,10.1@graph.no

Using imperial units:
    finger ^oslo@graph.no

Ask for wider output, longer forecast (~<screen width>):
    finger oslo~200@graph.no

Specify another location when names conflict:
    finger "oslo, united states"@graph.no

Display "wind chill" / "feels like" temperature:
    finger ¤oslo@graph.no

No graph, just a one-line forecast (needs improvement):
    finger o:oslo@graph.no

Hammering will get you blacklisted. Remember the data doesn't change more than once an hour.

News:
* Launched in 2012
* 2021-05: total rewrite due to API changes. Much better location searching, proper hour-by-hour for most of the world.
