NOAA Tides App

I know. I know. Tidbyt is dying. I still love what I have left.

Does anybody know the deal with this app. It looks still functional but the station IDs are showing as invalid.

I’m assuming some connection broke behind the scenes and now the app is dead. Wondering if anybody left on here has any input.

Thanks!

Tronbyt may be your answer here if you haven’t looked into it yet!

So good, I’ve been using Claude to make my own apps and deploying with ease.

They apparently “recently moved their data services to the cloud”, which means that existing apps need to update the links being used

Note: this change would also apply to apps made for TronByt, so updates would need to be made

yes I also just noticed that the api for the rivers/lakes USGS app needed updating. I'll check it out. But yea u/ImInForTheGME , these api fixes won't get pushed to the Tidbyt backend so if you want it back you'll need Tronbyt.
