That is exactly what struck me as well, I guess BLE 4 doesn't consume near that much energy as some people (me) think it does. So probably it's the display that consumes the most amount of energy. And since this device also has no

Sounds like React is going on my todo list (picked AngularJs for my current project so have to stick with it). Great suggestions btw, and I absolutely agree with Clojures a big win over Java, I was actually very briefly learning myself Cloj

I've read On Lisp by pg, and I'm passionate about using emacs (still depend too much on vim for productivity), so I'd love to start using Lisp-y languages everywhere. But it seems it's not main-stream [1] enough to hav

Funny as it is, you'll be spending more time figuring which components to buy and which ones you actually need. And eventually figuring out how to build enclosures/boxes for you projects. Power supply also seems to be a difficult

I've also had luck with 3.5" HD enclosures, they were as cheap as the drive without enclosure and with a bit creativity make for very nice looking enclosures for electronic projects. Another pro-tip I picked up is using match-boxe

I didn't took that into account, thanks! Still much more is nowadays possible then people realise. And it scares me how little some users care about privacy issues when uploading photo's/video's. Of course it doesn'

Just like always it's never the idea that worth a lot, it's always the execution, how you market it, effort put into it, etc. And I guess luck also plays a big role at times! This reminds me about the stories how the Pinterest fou
