Glad you liked it!

No, I haven't pulled the trigger to open-source it yet. But I did build on top of some of my other open source libraries: https://github.com/simontonsoftware/s-libs. So I do love open source!

I built a Sudoku app to help practice and learn advanced solving strategies. It's a progressive web app that can be used completely offline. Written in Angular with a Material UI.

Drop in on the release party live on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/ersimont. It's happening now until 9:30pm EST December 29th. Ask me anything here or in the live stream about how it's made, or why the world needed another Sudoku app.

Thanks! I am not paying for a plan, so the app is subject to their free quota. That line of source you found is simply going through a little proxy I set up to add my API key to the request.
I use this for my little weather app: https://ersimont.github.io/weather

I can compare it with 3 other APIs. I haven't been rigorous about it, but so far I feel like it has been the most accurate for near-term forecasts.

You could try it in my weather app: https://ersimont.github.io/weather

Select it from the "Source" section in the options.

On a small project of mine this sped up tests from about 10 seconds to 4 seconds. At work it sped up our suite from about 8 minutes to 4 minutes.

Both suites are almost exclusively component tests, with relatively complex components. Ymmv.
