Thanks! Totally agree that we need more Hue projects out there. Their API documentation is pretty rough, especially around the Remote API.

Show HN: Serverless Swift to control Philips Hue bulbs when my sports teams win

I built an event-driven serverless back end entirely in Swift that remotely flashes the Philips Hue bulbs in my house whenever my favorite sports teams score or win. It runs on AWS services including Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, and EventBridge, and costs less than $0.20/month.The Infrastructure as Code config and deployment is all handled by Swift Cloud.You can view the full source code for this...

Re:New iOS/iPadOS app to track 47 stats for your favorite CFB teams – ... on Thursday October 28, 2021 @11:32AM (#29027291)
I just released a new iOS app that's purpose-built for fans of American college football.

Outrank is the easiest way to check how your favorite FBS teams stack up against the rest. It shows you where your team ranks in 47 different tracked statistics compared to the other 129 FBS teams.

You can also compare the most intriguing matchups of the week, set your favorite teams, and more.

I built Outrank because I needed it. I host a college football podcast and wanted a quick way to find where my teams stacked up, but (surprisingly) couldn't find a service that provided it without a lot of pain in the process. Outrank is a simple solution to that problem.

It’s free with no ads. I’d love it if you checked it out and gave me some feedback! It's built with Swift, SwiftUI, Core Data, CloudKit, and AWS.
