(OP here) Thanks for asking this toni, as privacy issues are one of the reasons that we felt that this tool was necessary. We want to give developers the ability to solve bugs without compromising user security. You can choose exactly what

(OP here) Hey kingosticks, appreciate this and trust me that I'd love to open source this ASAP. We're just working out our deployment story and making sure that it can scale before we open source. We don't want to force beta

(OP here) Thanks for bringing this up – we definitely took inspiration from Sentry Breadcrumbs and actually use this feature in our apps quite a bit. We found that many bugs are not easily understood by looking at the breadcrumbs trail. Our

The AppHub client is also open source [1] and can be configured to point to any backend [2]. We also support asset updates, and the client has been tested in many production apps. With CodePush, AppHub, and this, it would be nice to have th

Really exciting to see an effective way to do cross-platform mobile dev, this has been a long time coming. Shameless plug for my own project, AppHub: https://apphub.io React Native makes it easy to write cross-platform JavaScrip

Yep, so true! Our dashboard makes it super clear to deploy JS bundles that are versioned to specific App Store releases, and we provide an API for testing new JS bundles on old App Store releases. I'd love to have you try it out - ping

AppHub cofounder here -- I'm glad you brought this up. A developer who chooses to use AppHub is not depending on the platform. If AppHub goes away (which we hope will never happen!), our iOS SDK defaults to using the App Store build. M

Great question! Our iOS SDK asynchronously downloads new JS bundles and images, and then loads the updates when your app is restarted. There are definitely some speed optimizations that we can make in the future, such as using diffs to appl

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback. We created Cluck as a way to get some of the advantages of phone calling (attention-grabbing and high-bandwidth) while still preserving the casualness of messaging. There are a lot of times where I eit

Developer here: we made this at MIT to make text messaging as efficient as possible. It's a bit confusing, but the best way to explain is through steps: 1) Cluck a friend to vibrate their phone like a phone call. 2) When they answer, y

Yes, that is correct. I used an aquarium circulation pump for this ( http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/863.14/people/matthew_arbesfe... ). They go for about 10 bucks on Amazon.

Thanks for the tips. This was my first time working with power components and I wasn't familiar with most of these parts. I'll incorporate these suggestions into the blog post so that they can be a resource to others.

Great questions. As you point out, I'm using the 0K resistors as jumper wires. It's a one-sided board so the 0K resistors basically act as a second layer on the board. Regarding your first question, I am not sure how to place a co

Exactly. This is really a general purpose temperature-controlling device (as opposed to the hyper-specific commercial hardware). I'm hoping to incorporate the same design into a smoker and refrigeration unit.

In larger baths of water (I am using a half-filled 4.75 gallon container), the temperature only fluctuates ~0.25C from the setpoint, as measured by the sensor. I think the large quantity of water makes the change in temperature very gradual

Great points, I do think that a professional PID is a better and more efficient way to build a sous-vide. I wanted to build something from basic components instead as part of the learning process, and also to allow me customize the logic vi

Not unless you want to. Anything in a `server/` or `private/` directory is not sent to the client. This pattern is sometimes used to group similar functions in a single file. Relevant section of the docs: https://docs.m

Latency compensation works as usual, meaning that actions are immediately carried out on a local in-memory copy of the database, and then replicated to the server. There is no offline caching at the moment, but it's on our roadmap and
