YAWK - Yet Another Weather app for Kobo
Application on Github: https://github.com/brunolalb/yawk
Based on Kevin Short's app (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=194376) Running on Python's distribution from NiLuJe (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=254214) Using the excellent library FBInk from NiLuJe (https://github.com/NiLuJe/py-fbink) Uses Open Weather Maps as forecast and current conditions provider (https://openweathermap.org/) Everything was tested on a Kobo Glo using the firmware 4.13.12638 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobo_Glo) Disclaimer The procedure I'm suggesting here will most likely void the warranty. Follow the guidelines at your own risk, I'm not responsible for any problems that might arise from this app's usage. Installation

Hey brunolalb !
I was wondering about a few things on your weather app... 1/ Seeing how it was made, I guess that after the installation, it automatically boots on your app, and you can no longer boot nickel ? Do you provide an uninstallation script ? 2/ Would it be possible then to adapt you script so that it boots only if there a certain file on the SD Card for instance, so that we can just remove the SD Card when we want to use the reader to read ebooks ? 3/ Or how hard would be an integration with KoboStartMenu ? I am very interested in adapting your app for a personal project I had abandoned a few years ago due to the lack of tools (thanks NiLuJe for your work too !) |

You could theoretically write a wrapper launch script that you could use either via KFMon or KSM.
See KOReader or Plato's launch scripts for a few examples that handle both (and will kill Nickel if needed). |

A few bugs have been fixed and lots of stuff optimised.
I tested everything again with the latest package from NiLuJe (Kobo Stuff 1.6.N-r18009) using python 3. |

I don't understand why you recommend a factory reset though

In case you already have something installed...like an older version of Niluje's stuff...
this way you know you're in a clean state...and since the idea of this piece of software was to be the only thing running, it kind of makes sense |

Is it possible to modify this to have a more prominent display of time?
Like the "Monday" section in the screenshot of post #1, I'd like it to show the current time with large fonts, so it can be seen from the other side of the room. |
