24 alternatives to Live weather radar wallpaper for Android
My very small team has built an Android live wallpaper that displays the current NEXRAD weather radar data as your Android phone’s live wallpaper. The app automatically selects the nearest radar site using coarse location permissions, or you can manually choose a location. Everything is size optimized and only updates when the wallpaper is being viewed to minimize battery footprint. Interesting technical bits: - Using the US National Weather Service public radar feed (via public S3 bucket) - Custom radar volume data decoder written in Go and running as AWS Lambdas (triggered by S3 bucket…

I really like Stellarium and SkySafari but I felt like these are primarily geared towards exploring the sky but not so much "here are the long list of things I want to see, when can I see them tonight and where". There's also not really a great option I've found that combines sky object planning + location weather details while still being free so I built this. The UI's heavily inspired by NINAs sky atlas + Robinhood. Right now you can: View the altitude chart of objects and 3D view Create lists of objects of interest View the annual max/min daily altitude of an object to find the best…

This is a little hobby project that I hope you enjoy. You can see where the International Space Station is now, with live HD video from NASA, on a realistic 3D globe. The positions of the sun and moon are also accurate, though distances aren't to scale. The clouds are also near-realtime; I span that out into a separate project at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk, where the cloud images I create from EUMETSAT data are freely available. I've got more features almost ready to go, like the ability to turn off all UI, toggleable clouds and turning off the day/night cycle I'd love for…

Hey all! This is a lightweight Android app to auto-change your wallpaper using AI generated images, implemented via the recently introduced DALL·E 3 API. I wanted something no-frills that isn't a bloated commercial option, so this is that. Open source, but also on the Play Store for convenience: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minosapps.... It (optionally) injects the current time, current location (city and country name only, using coarse location access) and current weather into the prompt, so you can easily get a night scene with rain in the…
