doineedspf

Tiny client‑only web app that grabs your location (with permission), fetches your local UV index from Open‑Meteo, and shouts a maximalist YES/NO whether you should wear SPF right now.

Built by Adam Goehrig‑Bawany.

Run

• Serve the project through PHP (e.g. php -S localhost:8000) and visit index.php in a modern browser.
• If prompted, allow location access. If you prefer not to, enter a city name and press "Check UV".

How it works

• Geolocation via the browser API (or manual city name).
• UV data from Open‑Meteo (hourly=uv_index, daily=uv_index_max, timezone=auto). No API key.
• Recommendation: UV ≥ 3 → YES. 1–2.9 → MAYBE. < 1 → PROBABLY NOT.

Tech

• Static HTML/CSS/JS with a tiny PHP shim for cache-busting.
• Bold color blocks with dynamic state‑based gradients.

Notes

• If Open‑Meteo is temporarily unavailable, use the city lookup as a fallback.
• Data sources and thresholds can be tweaked in script.js.
