Elsewhere
The weather app that tells you the weather where you aren't
Every day, Elsewhere gives you the weather in another random location in the world.
Why?
Well, you already know the weather where you are, don't you? What you don't know, however (unless you live there) is the weather in Concordia, Argentina or Yingshang Chengguanzhen, China.
Through using Elsewhere, you may discover a new place you've never heard of before. Actually, scratch that. I can guarantee you will. Almost every day, in fact. The world is huge, and there just isn't enough time to visit every corner of it -- but maybe there's enough time to become aware of more places.

Build
Get an OpenWeatherMap API key and create a file called keys.properties in the root of this repo, then format it like this:
OWM_KEY="your OWM API key here"
You can then build it normally.
Tip: if you don't want to use Android Studio, make sure ADB is in your path and launch the app using dbg.ps1. It will build the app, install it on your device, run it, and launch logcat filtered to messages from this app.
