If you want to use this clock as a screensaver there are several ways to address this, although, it depends on the OS. I'm currently using the Mac OS solution and it worked like a charm. You can find more information here:
- Mac OS: Mac OS X Screen Saver powered by a Web View (https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver)
- Windows: Set Webpage as Screensaver in Windows 10 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UovZwUlwwEs)
- Linux: Live Webpage as a Desktop Wallpaper on KDE Desktop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v1sJhBu25o)
To run the project you need Node and NPM installed on your system.
- Clone the project
- Install NPM dependencies
- Run
npm run devand voila! The clock will be automatically opened in your favorite browser.
This project is possible thanks to the following projects:
