One piece of 18F that I've always appreciated is their published API standards - https://github.com/18F/api-standards . They spawned it off the frequently mentioned White House API standards, and it phrases a lot o

Thank you very much! This will actually run very well on the Pi 2. Before you attempt the rewrite into Ruby, would you give this a try and give me feedback?

I think that's not a problem with the framework, but the CDN link in a box that should instead be scrolling unto itself. Still worth a GitHub issue to get fixed...

That's really where I burnt the first 4 weeks of this exercise. I would go on those sites, read blogs/posts/product pages over and over, and get overwhelmed and just shut down based on the number of options. Probably a person

Did you do a successful swap of the battery? Are there any markings on the case that designate it being a Rev1 or Rev2 battery?

This reminds me of a demo page from the late 90s that made me appreciate graphic formats on the web, where it highlighted what true alpha transparency could really accomplish and what you miss out on when you don't have it http:&#x2F

Flic isn't exactly a fair comparison, since it requires Bluetooth and would only work when your phone or computer are near. But I am also non-plussed by this offering. Ignoring the price, this should come with an option where it isn&#x

Follow-up: This thread is getting a fair amount of heat, and let me foremost say that I love the button and think it'd work for the vast majority of people. Just as a child's nightlight, he pushes it probably 10 days a day (potty

Do you have a mailing list where we can sign up to know when you open it up? I almost immediately bought this, but thought "I should read up on the API first..." Reading the FAQ [ https://flair.co/pages/faq ]

I hacked one of these to power the nightlight in my kid's bedroom ( https://github.com/ecaron/hue-website-nightlights ). The downside is that the button barely lasts for 1000 presses = 90 days (all kids like pushing
