hi8's Introduction

hi8

See Earth from Himawari-8 on your desktop every 10 minutes.

About

"Himawari" (ひまわり) is Japanese for "sunflower". 🌻

Himawari 8 is a geostationary weather satellite deployed by the Japan Meteorological Agency. It takes photographs of Earth every 10 minutes.

hi8 is a macOS menubar app that sets the latest image from Himawari-8 as your desktop background every 10 minutes.

This project is alpha quality, please report any bugs! and maybe fix them! 😁

Install

In the future, hi8 will be packaged as an app and downloadable via the releases page.

For now, you can install hi8 via npm.

npm install -g hi8

Requirements

⚡ GraphicsMagick ⚡

GraphicsMagick is an image processing library that helps stitch together the satellite images to produce a full picture of Earth.

The high resolution satellite images from Himawari-8 come in fragments like this one. At the resolution hi8 uses, there are sixteen images that need to be stitched together to create a full picture of Earth.

If you have homebrew, you can just brew install graphicsmagick.

If you know of a better (dependency-free) way to process the images (or package imagemagick and graphicsmagick with the application), please let me know!

Usage

Once hi8 and GraphicsMagick have been installed, all you need to do is run the hi8 command from a terminal.

hi8 will start in the background and from there it can be managed from the menubar.

hi8's Issues

bundle or replace magick

imagemagick and graphicsmagick are burdensome external dependencies that don't work well with distributing a bundled desktop application.

The options I see are:

find a way to bundle them with the application distribution
find a suitable replacement that doesn't require native bindings
create a web service to proxy calls to JPA's servers

I'm leaning towards 3 because I feel like if this ever picks up steam it might be the equivalent of a small DDoS attack on JPA's himawari-8 servers, which would not be very nice at all.

What I'm imagining is a server that:

gets the latest hi-res images from http://himawari8-dl.nict.go.jp/himawari8 and stitches them together (maybe even doing some color correction based on @celoyd's work) on a cron job or something equivalent
accepts a request for the latest Himawari-8 image and returns a cached image that's already been processed

This could probably be accomplished suitably with nginx caching plus a small service to fetch the latest cached image on each request.

May want to add a note that v6 is required:

MacOS 10.13.5?

I can't get this to install on 10.13.5 I assume its because it's trying to create objects in directories protected by apples high security module. Anyone's thoughts?

無法運行。

最新版brew安裝後，在以前從未安裝過npm的情況下根據首頁說明安裝了npm，然後
當運行 hi8命令後直接報異常了，如下：

    ^
