Show HN: Structure – IoT Developer Platform
- neom 11y agoGreat work folks, looks fantastic, can't wait to give it a whirl. :)
- zwigby 11y agoThanks, we're excited to show it to the world.
- rywalker 11y agoVery cool. Is there a getting started tutorial somewhere?
- zwigby 11y agoAbsolutely. https://docs.getstructure.io/getting-started/walkthrough/ https://docs.getstructure.io/getting-started/walkthrough/ There are also specific hardware guides as well.
- cridenour 11y agoThis is awesome. I might finally make that "Big Red Deploy Button" for the engineering team with this! I see the Slack output, is there a good way to send a Slack command input to a workflow?
- cannadbt 11y agoYou can use the Webhook Trigger to do that pretty easily: https://docs.getstructure.io/workflows/triggers/webhook/ https://docs.getstructure.io/workflows/triggers/webhook/
- ABIV 11y agoBeen playing with it for a couple days, really cool tool. I'm working on building the weather dashboard here: https://docs.getstructure.io/getting-started/walkthrough/ https://docs.getstructure.io/getting-started/walkthrough/
- kevando 11y agoWay cool! You should get this in high schools! https://www.getstructure.io/get-the-kit/instructions https://www.getstructure.io/get-the-kit/instructions
- zwigby 11y agoLove to help out and get more kits for schools. Think youngsters should definitely be playing with hardware.
- magnitudeio 11y agoWe're exploring that possibility. Interesting potential!
- acdaniel 11y agoLooks awesome but there seems to be a problem with using Twitter in the workflows.
- cannadbt 11y agoYep, unfortunately so many people are signing up for the kit can Twitter has throttled our app, which isn't letting all the messages through. We're working with their support now. It's letting some through though, so keep trying!
- iotjunkie 11y agoMessing with the workflows today, very simple, very clean. Super impressed!
- tmetzner 11y agoSuper interesting. Looks like you think there are a wide-range of potential use cases (https://www.getstructure.io/use-cases https://www.getstructure.io/use-cases) but will be curious to see who the early adopters are... thoughts about who jump in first?
- zwigby 11y agoWe're working with several early companies in the industrial space, especially logistics and manufacturing.
- cannadbt 11y agoThere's a lot of interest in manufacturing and logistics (warehouses and trucking). I think that's because these industries are under served for technology in general, and IoT is great fit for their a bunch of their use-cases.
- infinitebyte 11y agoParticularly liked the NodeRed like WorkFlow platform, which is intuitive, easy to use.
- toddhh 11y agoGreat feedback. Glad you found it intuitive!
- tedmiston 11y agoIMO the tutorial really made it. As startup devs, we get so many "try my app/platform/api" requests, but part of the reason I tried it was the smooth onboarding with a 5-minute intro. At first glance it felt to me like "Zapier for Things" plus a little more. The platform is surprisingly polished for a first release and I'm excited to see where it goes.
