I don't think so. It's proprietary. I don't understand why it can't just be a nice library. I suppose you can't launch a startup off a library Actually, I'm kinda confused on the whole proposition. Why can't I use existing libraries? Why the middleman?

We build a lot of infra/async logic to make controlling devices more reliable, handle long-running jobs...etc. So a simple library wouldn't quite work. With respect to the value prop, most of our API customers are software apps that need to connect to their users' devices. They can't, or don't want, to handle build auth flows, deal with device disconnection, unreliable cloud APIs, doing BD with device manufacturer...etc. Tbh, it's pretty much the same reason that made Plaid popular with the fintech ecosystem.
