I wrote a service in node.js that will save the city and state to a text file to be displayed in OBS. But I'm having to call it form a web bowser to take advantage of the browser's geolocation API. Unfortunately that means I have to keep the webpage as the active window when I would prefer to have other tools as the active window.
I'd like to see an extension that runs every 1-3 minuets that can get my laptops geolocation, send the lat and long to an online API such as
https://geocode.maps.co/, then extract and display the relevant location information from the response on the screen.
Example response from geocode.maps.co, the address contains the city and state.
