what more do you actually need?

Unless you want to actually develop ON the device (and build binaries etc...), this completely allows you to use the device and connect it to whatever, so I don't know what more we should expect.

No one else is doing this, so yeay applause

Open sourcing the server code would make getting your own instance of it way easier, and maybe opening the app code so people should change the controls?
