# Elsewhere
*The weather app that tells you the weather where you aren't*
Every day, Elsewhere gives you the weather in another random location in the world.
## Why?
Well, you already know the weather where you are, don't you? What you *don't* know, however (unless you live there) is the weather in Concordia, Argentina or Yingshang Chengguanzhen, China.
Through using Elsewhere, you may discover a new place you've never heard of before. Actually, scratch that. I can *guarantee* you will. Almost every day, in fact. The world is huge, and there just isn't enough time to visit every corner of it -- but maybe there's enough time to become aware of more places.
## Download
Elsewhere targets Android 11.0 and supports Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and newer.
### Google Play Store
[Download now!](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.davidteresi.elsewhere)
### F-Droid
Make sure you have the [IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/) added:
- Go to F-Droid Settings -> Repositories
- Tap the plus button in the top right
- Add this URL under "Repository address": `https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo`
Then, download Elsewhere through the F-Droid client once the index has been fetched. You can also download it manually from:
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/me.davidteresi.elsewhere
### APK download
Alternatively, [click here](https://github.com/dkter/elsewhere/releases/download/v1.0/Elsewhere.apk) to download an APK you can install on your device.
## Build
Get an OpenWeatherMap API key and create a file called `keys.properties` in the root of this repo, then format it like this:
OWM_KEY="your OWM API key here"
You can then build it normally.
**Tip:** if you don't want to use Android Studio, make sure ADB is in your path and launch the app using `dbg.ps1`. It will build the app, install it on your device, run it, and launch logcat filtered to messages from this app.
