It amazes me how sensitive I am to the difference between 66°F/19°C and 70°F/21°C. It's the difference between "I'd sure be a lot more comfortable with long sleeves" and "omg I can't take off enough clothes"

The older I get, the narrower my temperature comfort zone becomes.

@aaronpk lol, spend some time in the Middle East. Midday it may be 110F/43.5C and in the evening it would drop down to around say 90F/32.2C in the evening. Even though 90 is still warm, the drop was so extreme we would be putting on sweaters and jackets in the evening..lol
nope nope no thanks. I had my share of 110+F weather in Portland this summer. -

I want to build a tiny TV app to surface the streams in the Owncast directory. I haven't done this because:
1. The AppleTV is the best set top box, but if I built a tvOS app you'd all mock me and say I hate openness.
2. The Roku is the most popular, but Rokus _suck_ and they suck even more developing for them. I know, I've worked on multiple Roku apps.
3. Android TV boxes are ignored except for the Fire TV stick, and those are just advertising channels for Amazon that I want no part of.
Is there a way to do it by providing something like an RSS feed to apps that might already exist on various platforms? -

@aaronpk Probably not RSS, but I know for tvOS there are a handful of "IPTV" apps that I think are mostly for overseas television providers where it'll import a playlist and surface different "channels". All those apps are pretty janky, though. Stuff like this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iprotv-for-iptv-m3u-content/id1476267616#?platform=appleTV
yeah cool, definitely wasn't thinking literally RSS, but there must be some sort of generic format for this. If it hasn't been done well yet, maybe that's something worth trying? At the very least writing that for AppleTV means you are helping open up that platform since other people would be able to then use your app to view other videos in tvOS.
