The Weather Channel RetroCast Now Behind the Scenes and Technical / Design

I had the opportunity to launch a 90s retro inspired weather web app for The Weather Channel last week called RetroCast Now. I saw a post about it here so figured I'd come share some of the background and a bit of the technical approach.

Thanks for supporting the app!

Happy to answer any questions.

Cheers,
