What’s stopping you from putting in the effort into an open source system so it can compete with a feature set of a closed source commercial product?

I completely agree. Whether grandparent meant it or not, that language gives an entitled vibe which doesn't fit for open source projects.

I'm super curious about this. I recently tried a one day install with twinkly on a boat and the LEDs were too far away and moving too much to map with my phone. I was thinking about how I would do it differently, maybe with some manual work. Do you know any exciting open source work in the space?

So much this. It seems to detect any bright spots as LEDs. It should make a difference of the current frame with all-leds-off frame and then detect the LEDs.
