I wrote an in-depth article about a project I've been working on -- the Open Trickler! In this article, I describe how I built it, how it works, and how you can build your own for under $60! The project is open-sourced and it uses off-the-shelf components. The controller was written with NodeJS and the mobile app with Flutter.

I hope that this content is high quality enough to justify the time you spend reading it, and how much time it took me to create it!

I’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!
