Would love some thoughts or suggestions.

Payment is through stripe and we'll email to get shipping etc.

Instructions are pretty simple - there's a contact switch that puts the os in setup mode and creates an ad hoc network for the app to configure the wifi with your network. It gets linked up with your account and then you wire it up to your garage door button wires (usually 2 thumb screws on the door unit). After that mount the magnetic sensor.

Thanks for the feedback! We're looking for a few people to purchase for $150 (to cover our costs) and help make sure the product features and fit are right!!

I've been pondering doing one of these as a startup weekend suggestion for next year. I like where you're headed so far!

Bottom line for me - this feature is on by default. This should be an option. Deleting the data from the device should be available and it's not. Regardless of if the data was encrypted or not it's existence creates the potential for privacy violations. It's not far fetched to assume that your insurance company will inevitably ask you to share this info before issuing a policy. Isn't this blatant lack of concern for privacy why we're all here? I'm scared about the lack of our concern.

On by default? I'm not cool with that - are you?

I should say this is an iPhone 5s - I doubt the iPhone 5 has the features required to track steps.

I whipped this up in a couple of hours as a fun project.

Scaling is everyone's responsibility.

The question is can middleware really solve the problem of having to re-engineer when you reach the limits of your current stack?

As a way of getting search traffic up I might do that - I think your time is best spent allowing people to do public flocks. It'd be cool if I could just tell my network and other flockers - Hey I'm going to be here doing stuff - feel free to join me. Others could come hang out - I might meet some cool new people. People on facebook could see (and it would advertise the app for you organically)...

A web presence of these public events could rank you up in google - say I tell flockers I'm going to be at the MongoDB group - and anyone who wants to come can join. If some one googled mongodb group in a city - Flock could be high on the ranking.

Just my random thoughts / ideas.

Just downloaded it. I like the UI and the concept. Difficulty is with no friends on it I'm not able to get the full effect. I don't want to spam my friends so... how about having some public flocks?

I actually believe that code should be synchronous unless instructed to operate asynchronously - just my .02

Await should not be required - it should be more like...

--

regularWork(); //im waiting till this thing is done

driveHome();// not executed till thing one is done

background orderStatus = orderPizza();

turnOnXbox();

while(orderStatus == 'not ready') {

playXbox();

}

turnOffXbox();

eat();

Like I said - just my humble opinion that the code written would become more expressive.

Level 3 had service disruption yesterday too. So did AWS - what's going on this week - git hub too....

Weird didn't seem like a DNS problem.

Anyone know on what's going on?
