What does HackerNews think of webviewscreensaver?
Mac OS X Screen Saver powered by a Web View
Language:
Objective-C
Yes: https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver (at least on Mac OS)
For those on Mac who want to configure these (or any web page) as your actual screensaver, you can use WebViewScreenSaver[0].

I tried it with this "web page as a screensaver" app and it worked perfectly.
macOS only though - I couldn't find a Windows one.
same here, ill do some digging once i get home and report back if i find a way.
edit: couldn't wait until I got home so I found a solution for mac users. You can use this[0] package to load screensavers from urls.
Hey Y'all on OS X. Just compile this little tool https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver
Then add the url http://randomstreetview.com/#slideshow to the url playlist of the screen saver.
Or get the binary here:\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/c03r77x5vm1wirp/WebViewScreenSaver...
One neat feature/bug is that if you have multiple monitors the screens seem like they are pointed to different angles of the same exact place. I suspect the randomness algo is based on JS timestamps.
I modified this to show the current song, and made it my screensaver with WebViewScreenSaver (https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver). Image: http://imgur.com/woYztL8
I used this to make a screensaver out of it: https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver
If you're on a Mac check out https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver - Works well but you might not always have an internet connection so I just saved the HTML/CSS/JS into a folder and linked directly to that (and it works!)
