Show HN: Hacking Bluetooth to Brew Coffee in GitHub Actions

I want to shout-out the btleplug library again.

I've tried to work with several different BTLE libraries in the past, and I've always had a ton of problems.

btleplug works flawlessly, has as good of an API as is possible given the intrinsic complexity, and is a pleasure to use.

Thank you btleplug team <3

"btleplug is a pleasure to use". I see what you did there :)

I'm currently writing Rust for my bachelor thesis using bluez_async[1].

btleplug[2] is great, but at least on Linux I prefer using bluez_async directly, which btleplug is just an interface for there[3], to avoid one more layer of dependencies.

bluez_async is quite similar to btleplug, and, from my experience, if you know one you can use the other just fine.
