VistterStream — live streaming with real-time Tempest weather overlays

Hello Tempest Developers :waving_hand:

I’ve been developing an open-source project called VistterStream that integrates live video streaming with real-time data from the Tempest network.

What it does:

  • VistterStream runs on a Raspberry Pi, turning a camera feed into a curated, broadcast-quality YouTube Live stream.

  • A companion service, TempestWeather, adds dynamic overlays that display current conditions, tides, and short-term forecasts directly from the Tempest API.

  • The goal is to create a simple way for anyone to share their local environment — beach, marina, or backyard — with live, contextual weather information on top.

Live demo:

Repositories:
• VistterStream GitHub
• TempestWeather GitHub

Why I’m posting here:
I wanted to share this project with the Tempest developer community and connect with others who might be experimenting with creative applications of Tempest data — particularly in visual media, environmental storytelling, or live public data displays.

Looking ahead:
I plan to continue refining the overlay system and exploring new ways to present Tempest data in engaging, accessible formats. Collaboration and ideas are welcome!

Thanks to everyone who’s contributed to making the Tempest platform and API so developer-friendly — it’s been a joy to work with.

Thank you. I’m working on stability now, to keep the stream up and running 24/7.
