Where does supercell-wx's data come from?

I'm currently digging through the code to find out more, but I would like to know where the radar data is coming from that you see in the app. Unless it's somehow the maptiler api mentioned, then what is used?

The data comes from the NEXRAD archive on AWS:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-data-set-real-time-and-archived-nexrad-weather-data/

It's parsed according to the following ICDs:
https://www.roc.noaa.gov/interface-control-documents.php

The interface to AWS is here:
https://github.com/dpaulat/supercell-wx/tree/develop/wxdata/source/scwx/provider

The parsing of the data is here:
https://github.com/dpaulat/supercell-wx/tree/develop/wxdata/source/scwx/wsr88d

MapTiler and Mapbox are used for the map only. Maplibre Native (forked from Mapbox Native after they moved away from providing a free native library) is used as the mapping backend, to provide a smooth map.
