## Features

-   Clock

-   Live weather by location

-   New background every 2 minutes

-   Avoids using the same background twice for RSS feeds

## Development

### Env

For now, the `env.js` file is **_required_** to build.

There are two image fetch methods: `app-server` which is bundled in this repo, or a custom `RSS` feed

1. Choose a feed method

2. Duplicate `env.sample.js` as `env.js`

3. Either deploy and use the `app-server` or use an RSS feed consisting of images

```

app/env.js

export default {

    ANIMATION_LONG: 3000,

    ANIMATION_SHORT: 1000,

    APP_SERVER_URL: '',

    FETCH_METHOD: '',

    IMAGE_TIMER: 120,

    OPENWEATHERMAP_KEY: '',

    RSS_URL: '',

    TITLE: 'Ambient TV',

};

```

```
