I'm just going to shamelessly plug my project which previously featured on HN, where I did something similar and then added a camera on a smartphone to make the cheap RC car drive itself :-) http://blog.davidsingleton.org&#x

Right now, the Android app shows the current uptime and system load on the Raspberry Pi in the title bar. It does this by polling a URL which is handled by the PiUi Supervisor (separate python app from your main app). As you can see on gi

The price is exorbitant compared to the compute cost associated with each request, so let's assume that the value you provide here is that every other developer doesn't have to invest the setup time to build it themselves and keep it runnin

It's back up now. Useful service, I would use it assuming availability is good (I have jerryrigged something similar myself in the past and it was a real pain in the ass to get working smoothly). Suggested pricing seems way off though (I kn

I reinstated this with Mark Byer's permission. Since it was wiped off the face of the web for several years, code golfers might well be able to find some quick improvements to many of the solutions. Looking forward to hearing from you!
