My guilty pleasure is wasting time on Reddit. My actual pleasure is reading new books. I wanted a Chrome extension that would give me a gentle reminder of how to feel better about where I spent my time. I added the weather and location to let me know if I could sit outside and read under a tree instead of under a Reddit.
This extension querys four APIs for data:
- The New York Times books API - book data.
- OpenWeatherMap - current weather based on location.
- ip-api - aproximate location based on public ip address.
- ipify - retrieve public facing ip address.
