MTA Kindle Countdown Timer

Uses the MTA App API and goodservice.io to display a station countdown timer and any alerts in a kindle-friendly interface.

Setup

Populating API KEY

1. Create an API key at https://api.mta.info
2. Create a .env file in repo root, with API_KEY="<YOUR_API_KEY>"

Building

1. Install Rust
2. Run cargo build --release

Usage

Options

Right now the site only supports 1 station and up to 2 line alerts. The default is Bedford Ave (L08), watching the L and 4.

To modify, visit e.g. http://localhost:8080#A32&F. This monitors W 4th St, and the A and F.

The full station list is available from the MTA here.
