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. -Felix On 09/06/2015 01:08 PM, Alex Hough wrote: > Dear Felix, > > Thanks for this, very interesting.
