Android App / FireTV version

[DAE51D]

This is incredible. It would be even more incredible and useful if I didn't have to cast it from my PC via Chrome to my FireTV on my big 4k TV on the wall... Could this be made into an android .apk so I could install it natively on my Amazon FireTV stick?

Very doable, but WebGL/deck.gl performance on FireTV Stick hardware might be challenging / very slow.
A PWA is already supported. FireTV's Silk browser can "install" PWAs. Not as slick, but works today, if you can open the silk browser and point to worldmonitor.app and see if it works, that gives an indication if this is worth the hassle

@DAE51D did you get to try using Silk browser pls to know if I pursue or not?

[DAE51D]

Sorry for the delay @koala73 .

It started out promising...

this would definitely need some kind of scaling/resize feature to fit all that goodness in 4k displays

But there's basically no scrolling in any direction happening

And for fun I tried to download the "arm64" app (I think that's right?) - but Silk doesn't even allow downloading so wouldn't have worked anyways...

haha, that x64 version is the .AppImage extension for Linux, 64bit processor architecture, not for 64bit arm mobile
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the apk version
