About

Hi HN!I'm the developer of OffChess a Hackernews favorite Chess puzzles app. About 6 months ago I saw someone reviewing an Apple TV 4k on their youtube channel and it looked vastly superior in terms of UI and UX to what Android based Google TVs provide. I asked the people over at r/AndroidTV if someone has ported Apple TV experience to Android TV and they said no. So I built a makeshift video and posted on Reddit. People there loved it and started sending me Reddit chat messages every day to build and launch it.So it took me 3 months to solve all edge cases and I built and launched AT4K Launcher in January and people absolutely loved it. Since then BGR, Android Authority, Makeuseof and multiple tech websites have featured it as one of the best Android Launchers.Clean, fast, minimal, pretty, no accounts, no tracking, no monthly subscriptions, no internet required. Just you and your apps. With Live wallpaper, custom app icons, icon packs support and multiple ways to modify your home screen AT4K Launcher packs everything you need in a neat ui.Here is the play store link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overdevs.a...Would love feedback, bug reports, or suggestions.Thanks!

Smart niche. Apple TV UX is elite. Monetization strategy?

Apple TV's UI isn't exactly revolutionary, big cards, focus on content over apps, horizontal scrolling rows. What Android TV devices really suffer from is the ad-riddled home screen that Google keeps pushing harder each year. The real question is whether this replaces the entire launcher including the recommendations infrastructure, or if it's just a cosmetic reskin over the same leanback framework. Because if it's still pulling from the same recommendation channels that prioritize sponsored content, slapping tvOS aesthetics on top doesn't solve the core problem.
