Weird view on OSS... I'm still in university but my GitHub profile would've already gotten me 13 offers if I would've been into starting to work for a company.

It got me my first talk on a conference, got me in contact with a lot of different, very interesting opportunities and people from around the world.

Haven't seen a single disadvantage in it, yet. Not even one.

Totally legit, let's just kill everything that is a predator but the humans themselves... What a thoughtful comment, thank you for that

Good question, I hope we will find some easy ways to get over these "problems" as well...

It's called Blockly. Google developed it, it's open source and free to use for everybody!

Haha, yeah I absolutely understand that.

Haha, thank you for all the ideas. They are pretty cool! I knew I'm not the only one with this kind of problem :D

Thank you for the idea with the new name. You're right, it sounds a bit more suitable.

Thanks, these are some pretty nice ideas right there!
Re:Show HN: Personal Storage System with a PI on Thursday November 10, 2016 @07:14AM (#12919743)
Yes, that's the idea behind it. If you have an idea how to improve that, i would love to hear it
Re:Show HN: Personal Storage System with a PI on Thursday November 10, 2016 @04:28AM (#12918940)
Yes ok, thought you looked that up online.
Re:Show HN: Personal Storage System with a PI on Thursday November 10, 2016 @04:12AM (#12918876)
Well, good point. Forgot to add that, good thing i hadn't to pay that :D

Where did you look that up?

Re:Show HN: Personal Storage System with a PI on Thursday November 10, 2016 @03:29AM (#12918680)
Sure, i'll add that immediately
Re:Show HN: Personal Storage System with a PI on Thursday November 10, 2016 @03:22AM (#12918645)
Awesome project, would be interesting to add something like a leap motion to make it controllable without smearing the mirror :D

Hey, you're right. But since I'm a CS student who likes to try out and learn stuff, over engineering is not a bad thing for me.

For a little home, we have an unnecessarily large inventory and it is really comfortable to just look it up on the smartphone than take the staircase to the basement and search through the stock :D

It's not just ketchup btw ;)

I'm still searching for an over engineered use case for my new label printer... The printing with this system is simply done with a Wifi printer nearly anyone (at least here in Germany) has at home. You can simply print a list of all the stock and if you want even a simple groceries list of which items are empty ;)

We installed a new shelf but once this one is full, you still got the problem. I mean, you could add even more, but at one point the room is full and you're back where you started :D
