We have recently completed a private beta and opened our software to more folks.

Here’s how it helps build functional and beautiful apps on RPi: * Boots as a full-screen web browser * JavaScript APIs to access common interfaces, like UART and GPIO * Settings app for device and application management (choose which apps to start on boot, upload apps from flash, control screen orientation, etc.) * Application examples and demos * Remote debugging from a web browser

I’d love to hear feedback and what features do you guys think would be useful. We’re in active development, and can make it happen fast :)

Thanks!

Hey, this looks pretty cool and something I was looking for. I’m not using Raspberry Pi however. Do you Plan to support other boards besides Raspberry Pi?

Thanks for the feedback! We're planning to add support for Rockchip boards. Are there any particular boards you are looking for? What about OS? I'm also curious to learn about your use cases.

I'm building a 3d printer control display that would allow you to load/view models and control the printing process. It's currently based on Raspberry Pi, but I was looking at more powerful alternatives like Vim2/vim3 that have a better GPU and higher performance.
