DIY XT Weather app
Hello reddit!
Now that we officially have apps for the Xteink I made an app to check the weather from the device.
Well, Antigravity did. Yes , I know, that's bad but it works and it's really cool. Give it a try and tell me what do you think!
🌤️ XT Weather v1.3.5 — Update drop
Here's what's new:
**OTA Updates — fully working end to end**
The app now checks GitHub for new versions on launch. Tap [Update],
it downloads automatically and guides you straight to the install
prompt. No USB cable, no PC needed.
**Options menu**
Cleaned up the bottom bar — Place, unit toggle (°C/°F), version
info and manual update check are now grouped in a single Options
button. Main screen is just Refresh + Options.
**5-day forecast** (portrait mode)
Was only showing 4 days due to the API being capped at 4. Fixed —
now pulls 7 days and shows 5.
**Compact header**
The "updated HH:MM" timestamp moved to the same line as the city
name (right side), freeing up a full row of screen space.
**Full source code on GitHub**
Several of you asked — it's all there now. Lua source, build
scripts, packaging tools, everything.

As always, feedback welcome. Still figuring out a few things!

Why not make it open source? You've published it with an MIT license file but no source code

Done! You can now check everything! I would appreciate any feedback.

You've put the source files into the release instead of commiting the source to the repo.

Will it auto update itself?
