I’m all in for using Go and having fun, but is there an actual point in this daemon? I thought the Raspberry Pi is about making life easier and not about adding one more device to constantly worry about (i.e. check the stats every so often or get alerts)? :-)
- stinos 13y agoThis is probably made for fun, and in the spirit of the times where there's an app for everything. Whether or not it's useful is another point though..
- jondot 13y agoAuthor here. It was made out of several reasons * For fun (as said here) * Scratching my own itch - I needed a way to remotely run commands though a nice UI, and a way to see how my Pi is doing when i'm not at home. * For lack of better tooling - every thing I evaluated needed a combination of things, no other tool gave me all-in-one. This made the resources bloated. With GC, you get around 3-4MB RSS. * To prove to myself that Go can be as great for development on the Pi as Python (which many people use there) I also like the idea of Internet of Things http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things I already had everything working in an evening based on a concept I had, and it took additional few days of my spare time to get a nice looking UI, landing page, code cleaned up, supporting more reporters etc. So all in all I invested that additional time on the premise that others may find it useful to make their own life a bit easier -- naively speaking, if it make your life harder please let me know why so I can improve it :)
