An Apple TV for the family plot — every streaming service in one launcher, on a Mac plugged into the television.
A video aggregator built for the house in Gzowo: one grid, one remote, and the services behind it opening full-screen in a kiosk browser instead of demanding a different device each.
Two macOS traps cost real time here and are worth writing down. Renaming the application bundle poisoned its entry in the system launcher — opening it reported success and started nothing, with an empty log and no error anywhere; only a fresh bundle identifier fixed it. And because macOS refuses to let a bundled app overwrite a file another process created under the downloads folder, the server died instantly on every start until its log moved elsewhere.
