Had a random thought during lunch: what if I could press a key and instantly open my security cameras in fullscreen? 🤔
So I built a simple Electron app in JavaScript. It opens any URL in a fullscreen window and toggles it on/off when I press the "Home" key.
I’m using it to open a Home Assistant dashboard in kiosk mode — just one card showing all my live security cams.
The app runs in the background, starts silently with Windows, and stays in the system tray.
Vibe-coded the whole thing in less than half an hour.
Thinking of putting the code on GitHub — anyone interested?
Edit: I’ve just uploaded the full code to my GitHub repository. It’s a vibe-coded project so there might be some rough edges or bugs. Feel free to open issues or suggest improvements if you have ideas!
