Still to come:

  1. More Apps
  2. GameSlate Beta
  3. Gadgetos GUI separate from Gadgetos (like Spiral)

Nice one

Congrats on making it to “Hack a Day”!

Nice! Didn’t even realize I was back on Hack A Day. ;D

Not great comments so far but I’m guessing they’re pretty much non NETMFers, and I did expect a little flack for closing the kernel but that’s because we have a new point system in the works and having the source would make it too easy to cheat and get free stuff.

Congrats!

Of course, if it’s not OSS and running on Arduino then it’s not worthy of Hack-a-Day praises…

I think OSS is BS!

I would rather have closed software that works.

I wonder how many of these OSS zealots actually change the source code.

Not that you have a point or anything :smiley:

On the flip side (closed source)… How many problems have you reported to GHI this year that have been fixed promptly?

AND

(OSS) How many contributions have been made already by this community to Hydra?

OSS is great. However, you usually have to really have a big problem before anyone will take the time to help out with it.

@ Skewworks You shouldn’t have built bug-free software. You might have had more contributions :clap:

GadgetOS also works pretty well on a Spider (cuzican).

That was one of the design goals.
