Hah I work on this every single day. I'm building tiny web-servers for consumers over at https://pibox.io https://pibox.io - we like to say were "distributing the web; no blockchain required". Customers love the product, but VCs hate it xD
- mdm12 4y agoGood on you for taking the road less traveled! I don't have the guts to pursue 'real' entrepreneurship like yourself, but I appreciate those who do!
- erulabs 4y agoI would only say that sooner is better than later. During this startup I got married and had a child - and I don’t come from money or have a successful exit before - so chances are this is my one and only shot before I have to earn more money for my family. Fear is a funny thing. Trick is to have it chase you down the path, instead of standing in your way.
- simjnd 4y agoThis is awesome. Seeing the mention of an App Store made me think of Umbrel [1] which is still in alpha but is a very approachable GUI for managing services running on your Raspberry. [1]: https://umbrel.com/ https://umbrel.com/
- erulabs 4y agoNice! We consider Umbrel a bit of a sister company :) They are more crypto focused, and we're more self-hosting focused, but we overlap in many ways. Umbrel software runs great on our hardware!
- simjnd 4y agoThis is awesome! Your hardware looks fantastic, so pleased to see it had a Noctua fan. This is typically the kind of thing hardware manufacturers would try to save money on. Will definitely consider and spread the word about PiBox!
- erulabs 4y agoThank you!! We splurged on the fan for sure - but it runs more or less silent and I love hearing the fan spin up and down when it boots - makes it feel like a proper server even though it's about the footprint of an iPhone :)
