I am a noob, I know nothing of this world, I just wanted a screensaver that I can glance at everynow and then I wanted the ambient, calm vibe of the macOS "Word of the Day" screensaver but for what the world is actually searching for. Built it as a weekend project that got out of hand. It's a Python script fetches Google Trends RSS hourly via GitHub Actions, writes trends.json, and deploys to GitHub Pages. The screensaver is a native macOS ScreenSaverView Just some ghost trends swim in smooth path (I tried) at different depth layers with Gaussian blur, the focused trend blurs in from depth like a fish approaching glass, and caustic light rings pulse on the background. Live web version (same data, HTML/CSS/JS): https://apoorvkulkarni.com/trending-screensaver/ Source: https://github.com/apoorv-kulkarni/trending-screensaver I think this is it for this tiny project, but I am open to any suggestion/improvements | ||
