Shipping cross platform code that talks to USB devices is a nightmare. Libusb has made leaps and bounds to improve it vs. the myriad of native platform APIs, but you still will have to painfully walk users through a process that's often fraught with OS-specific confusion and issues.
- ur-whale 5y ago> Libusb has made leaps and bounds to improve it vs. the myriad of native platform APIs As a matter of fact, that is exactly what Chrome uses under the hood. Except that instead of exposing the libusb API as unchanged as possible at the JS layer, they've somehow decided - they being Google and hence smarter than everyone - to re-engineer to API to be o-so-slightly different, but not actually any better. What a crock.
