Show HN: I turned my TV into a '90s Weather Channel with an Android kiosk app

https://github.com/cyberbalsa/retroweather
2•jetbalsa•1h ago
! wanted to bring back some of that old weather channel vibe and the WeatherStar 4000+ emulator was a great way to get it, but it wasn't really easy to just pull it up on my Shield TV in the morning. So I put together this Android app and figured others might be into it too.

The app is a WebView wrapper around the WeatherStar 4000+ web emulator by netbymatt. It bundles everything locally and injects some JavaScript on top for kiosk features like location detection, settings, and music.

Location chains through GPS first, then falls back to IP geolocation if that's not available. Settings are accessed with a long press and get saved between sessions.

The music comes from the Weatherscan Complete Collection on Archive.org.
