Post Description

Hi HN!

I'm the developer of OffChess a Hackernews favorite Chess puzzles app. About 6 months ago I saw someone reviewing an Apple TV 4k on their youtube channel and it looked vastly superior in terms of UI and UX to what Android based Google TVs provide. I asked the people over at r/AndroidTV if someone has ported Apple TV experience to Android TV and they said no. So I built a makeshift video and posted on Reddit. People there loved it and started sending me Reddit chat messages every day to build and launch it.

So it took me 3 months to solve all edge cases and I built and launched AT4K Launcher in January and people absolutely loved it. Since then BGR, Android Authority, Makeuseof and multiple tech websites have featured it as one of the best Android Launchers.

Clean, fast, minimal, pretty, no accounts, no tracking, no monthly subscriptions, no internet required. Just you and your apps. With Live wallpaper, custom app icons, icon packs support and multiple ways to modify your home screen AT4K Launcher packs everything you need in a neat ui.

Here is the play store link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overdevs.a...

Would love feedback, bug reports, or suggestions.

Thanks!

Updated HyperUPnP TV App

This is a pragmatic fork: the author pared down features and redesigned the UI to work with Fire TV remotes, which actually matters for couch-to-TV UX. It’s not reinventing UPnP — it’s useful glue for people who want an easier media-browsing experience on a stick — but documentation, release builds, and a clearer changelog would make adoption frictionless.
