The comments section of HN is it's most valuable feature to me, and I wanted a way to jump into discussions when I noticed something I could contribute to.
I move between desktops and mobile, and wanted something completely standalone that I could use to easily navigate whatever I am using to the article, then I can hit back and read the comments, or start tapping away my own.
I noticed a lot of comments here wishing for a way to get started with electronics; while completing this project won't teach you about Ohm's law or circuitry, this is a very low-cost way to use software skills to jump straight into microcontroller programming. Give the guide a read and try it out!
