Hi @matopeto, thanks so much for sharing your project!

I'm working with a Kindle PW running 5.17, and am trying to run the project from the device directly. However, when I go to access the file (or any file) via the web browser at file:///mnt/us/weather/index.hmtl, I get an error message that pops up:

Invalid Protocol
The web browser cannot download files using this protocol. Only HTTP and HTTPS protocols are supported.

Is there an additional step needed to be able to access the file system through the kindle web browser? I've also jailbroken my kindle using the latest winter break instructions, so I'm not sure if that could be part of the problem.

Thanks again for sharing your project, it has been a lot of fun to play with setting it up!
