Spacebrew: Connect interactive things

We are all going after different parts of the process. For us it was key to make connecting as easy as possible. Another good toolkit like this is http://noam.io/

They all have different pros and cons. We use Spacebrew a lot at meetups or hackathons where people have existing projects that they'd like to connect, but don't want to have to rewrite them. They can usually find (or we have even had people quickly write) a library for their environment since it is a very simple protocol and they are then on the Spacebrew network ready to publish or subscribe to data.

I helped make Spacebrew, its best used for prototyping and sketching IOT. we were really inspired by Proccesing.org and Ardunio, and wanted to make a project that could be used by students and designers in workshops to make an IOT project. Much of the problem was really about having interactive objects and physical computing projects that people made as one offs and being able to connect them together.
