Sony-TV-Control: the battery in the RC is started to discharge, so I've downloaded Android apps, which can control our Sony smart TV. Tried some, but I was disappointed, so asked DeepSeek if Sony TVs have some API. Instead of demonstrating the API, DeepSeek created me a simple RC PoC, which looked promising, so I decided to continue vibe-coding my version, a mobile-first webapp with Python backend: https://github.com/ern0/sony-tv-control

It has several functions which a normal RC can't have, e.g. search channel by name, or hide "ABCD" channel, if it has "ABCD HD" pair, to make channel list shorter.
