I got tired of driving GeForce NOW with a mouse from the sofa, so I built a console-style launcher for it (Linux only)

The official client has nothing good going for it. Absolutely nothing. I'm no UX/UI expert, but I think it would take very little to make it more pleasant and usable.
On a desk it's fine. On a TV, from the sofa, it's painful.  

So I built the thing I wanted: GFN Launcher. Fullscreen, starts on its own when the machine boots. Turn on the TV, pick a game, play. That's it.  

It doesn't replace the official client, it just puts a proper TV interface in front of it and hands the game over. You don't even need to be signed in to launch something.  

The honest part:
  
This is version 0.1.0. I've built it in my spare time and at my own expense, so expect a few rough edges, please report them, I'm actively fixing things. Signing in still needs a mouse once, because NVIDIA's login page isn't controller-friendly. Nothing I can do about that one.

And...It's free forever, no paid version, and it's open source so anyone can look inside, improve it, or take it further.

If you'd like to see it grow, there's a donation.

Thanks! Enjoy!

HA Automotive (Unofficial app for Android Automotive OS)

HA Automotive - App su Google Play

I recently got a car running native Android Automotive, and as a huge home automation fan, one of the first things I tried was Home Assistant. Honestly, I found the official app a bit too cluttered and unintuitive to use while driving, so I decided to build my own alternative.

The idea is pretty simple: the app connects to your Home Assistant instance, pulls your entities, and lets you organize your favorite ones on a nice, clean grid right on the home screen.

I’ve also added a small one-time Pro upgrade that unlocks some extra customization and aesthetic features, mostly as a way to support the effort if you like the project.

The version on the Play Store is already in pretty good shape, though there might still be a minor bug here or there. I’d really appreciate it if you could give it a spin and let me know what you think or if you run into any issues!

Thanks!
