Visjs developers are launching a kickstarter campaign!

[Felix Küppers]

Hi Everybody,

the developers from Visjs are doing a Kickstarter campaign for a new programmable bluetooth low-energy "intelligent house" device that they developed, which aims to be the most affordable solution on the market:

http://crownstone.rocks

The code to control the device is open source and hosted at github:

https://github.com/AlexDM0/crownstone.rocks

As you know, I use their Visjs graph visualization library for TiddlyMap and the Visjs team always helps me out with issues that are related to embedding graphs in TiddlyWiki! – In the very beginning they even changed all html/css ids into classes when I described my problem that I need to display multiple graphs at once in one wiki ;)

Without Visjs, the TiddlyMap plugin would not be as good as it is (or may not even exist), therefore I feel obliged to support their campaign by telling others about it who might find an interest in it ...and apart from that it is obviously a cool product!

P.S. Picking up Mat's all time classic "Bigger community → better TiddlyWiki", I would say "Helping Visjs → Helps TiddlyMap → More graph drawing fun with TiddlyWiki" :)

Dear Felix,

Thanks for this, very interesting. Like many other people I am excited about the internet of things, Raspberry Pis and house (and garden) automation. 

I was looking at fitting power to a meeting room, and found this [1] - plugs (power, USB and Ethernet) are movable on a conduit. I liked the idea that broadband can be run though the mains circuit in a building, this system seems to capitalise on that in a cool way. The Crownstone system could benefit it it were integrated with Mainline.... if you have managed to persuade them to change a few CSS classes, how about prompting them to make a Mainline edition! :)

TW, TiddlyMap, Raspberry Pi and viz.js could interact with the internet of things without Crowstone, but the fact that it exists and is poiting towards the future is exciting

Hi Alex,

After having had a look at the mainline project, i feel like I'm living in stone age at my home :)
As you said the internet of things is slowly becoming reality and the next step is to make it affordable which I think the visjs people are up to with their Crownstone project.

What is nice is that they keep the code of many of their projects open (like the vis.js code I use for TiddlyMap) and build a community around it. It is beneficial for society when people can freely use company code for their projects and experiment with the code, but it is also a good strategy for companies themselves since it generates a lot of feedback.
