> it also really feels like you use 1000 lines of code where 10 will do. Ok. Let's break this down. The library currently handles support for 523 different devices from at least 40-50 manufacturers. ( https://iostindex.com

Depends on where I'm sending the CV! It's always on there in some form, but I can recontextualize the library as a "haptic device management system" if necessary. I've also just basically repeated the design of th

You're absolutely correct! I mention this elsewhere in the documentation even. Buttplug really is just a userland HID manager at its core. The only specialized part is the context of commands we send to devices. The original plan (and

I used to work in self-driving cars waaaay back when (2008-2011, the early days of the current era) and I did pick up some of these ideas from there. :)

Wow, that's awesome! Super curious what project it is you run. (If you don't want to link it to your HN account, feel free to poke me directly, my contact info is in my HN account bio :) )

I don’t really have a ton of interest in maintaining a ble library, it’s just required for my main library. Theres a lot of weirdness around Bluetooth implementations between platforms and now I’m on the hook to either support them or tell

1000s at least. We don’t have any detailed metrics because the data privacy issues there are… a lot, but going by download numbers and knowledge of platforms and some of the larger applications, it’s a decent number.

Source was me, from some friends that were trying to use the library and the name was causing issues with contracts. Btleplug was named the way it is because I am horrible, and the name alone has caused it to have to be wrapped or just not

Yup, you are completely correct on the sensor side. I try to be fairly choosy in what we support, but yeah some strokers and machines definitely do not have the safety features I’d like. Many years ago, there was another device that relied

Yeah I wrote and manage our Bluetooth le library! It’s been one of the bigger regrets of my life, but it had to happen and at least it works and I don’t have to touch it much now. :) Here’s how that came together: https://nonpoly

Best: Funny enough, it's for a (set of) device(s) that constantly causes me issues, the OSR-2/SR-6/SSR-1. Here's a background video I did on the hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFcrNk33_io It&#

Hah I've worked with the creators of both of those platforms. Funny enough, using those sensors to relay information to things like events on avatars in VR virtual worlds has had some interesting results!

This post was written in late January. Bluesky opened up early access to federation about a month later, which does change some of the perspective. https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation

I've done some programming on the AVP. It... feels weird, 'cause you're basically just working on a big screen while still in the mouse/keyboard monitor paradigm. Just so happens your monitor is a little easier to move a

Is this using webrtc for the calls? If so, How are you finding it to work with that in flutter/dart?

I use xstate in a major project, having moved from python's transitions library to this when the project became web focused. XState is fantastic once you get used to it, but the ramp-up is similar to a fairly complex framework. Onboard

As someone shipping an app across all desktop and mobile platforms with flutter, binding it into a native rust library, I absolutely adore it. It does what I need and is fairly reliable about it everywhere, while keeping build systems and e

Awww thanks heh. Really gotta redo that with https://buttplug.io someday.

I suspect https://buttplug.io is gonna keep me busy. I’ve already been working in the intimate haptics field for ~18 years and it’s remained interesting the whole time, so no plans on stopping.
