egn··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
I have a small Internet kiosk for one-off browsing and guests.

Currently, mine is running on an ODROID-C2 but the Pi 4 should have more than enough performance for one.

My setup is a stripped down install with a minimal window manager. There's only one icon for launching Firefox which is configured in an amnesic mode. The DNS is set to my Pi-hole.

Ah, you're right. Thanks.

Thank you for the kind words and continued support/feedback, Daniel. I'm guessing we'll keep bumping into each other for a while. :)

I definitely hear you on the Gem volatility and agree on monetization. Eventually, I'd like to have a team working full time on the builder in addition to user-contributed features. Surely, it's a headache to think about hundreds of features past what Prelang has now but I believe it's doable with the proper architecture.

All the best.

Really appreciate the detailed feedback.

* Email on generation is a good idea. Also, I don't have a Gem cache system yet which will help.

* Flickering is because some of the inputs have to compute a lot of values @ Backbone model layer. Definitely opportunity for optimization.

* Thanks :)

* A lot of users have asked for user contributed features. The problem is it's hard to extract an API from my generation system but I hope to in the future.

* Very doable. I just haven't written private repo support in because I'd have to deal a lot of auth/selection issues which isn't a priority right now.

* Vagrant would be great.

For a lot of these, I just don't have time yet but all candidates for the future.

Thanks again.

Thanks! A deploy process like that is coming relatively soon... I've been working on it today in fact. I'm glad you think that would be valuable.

It's all through the web.

I'm deploying with the email gate removed now. If I don't hear back, I'll just make a new "Show HN" post.

Hey dang, I'm sending all invites right as I get requests now and the email gate will fully come down soon. Is there any chance I can get the "Show HN" back?
