Show HN: Merry Sky, Dark Sky replacement and merry-timeline open source lib

So from your linked document it seems they are using these sources:

> Starting from the beginning, three NOAA models are used for the raw forecast data: HRRR, GFS, and the GEFS.

Though I don't understand why they use very very confusing term "An Open Weather Forcast API" including typo (quite unprofessional), which will anyone familiar with weather data sources take as Open Weather (Map).

Hi,

I'm the dev behind the Pirate Weather API. I really appreciate your feedback here, since I missed that typo, but it's fixed now.

I went through a ton of iterations of the subtitle, since it's a tricky thing to get right. I think the "Open" part is important, but agree that I don't want it to be confused with "Open Weather Map". I've retitled it to "A Free, Open, and Documented Forecast API", which is a little wordy, but might be better
