A fun way to realize different country extends is this game where need to match moveable country shapes to their location on a mercator map: https://bramus.github.io/mercator-puzzle-redux/

Have a look it at https://luftdaten.info/en/home-en/. Not exactly using an rPi, but the goal of the project seems to fit with your plan.

I have a spare RPi2 sitting next to my router and running InfluxDB precisely for collecting Luftdaten readouts.

I liked that about v1 as well, but it seems like they have brought it over to v2 [0]. Trying it on a v2 project it only seems to have one commit for everything up until the first clone?

I would recommend to also look at this guideline + tooling to create an automatic changelog based on your commits: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/

I always force myself to write good commit message. But I often ask myself if it is really useful or if I'm just too tight and want things to look good.

This standard might be useful for library maintainers in the cases stated here: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0-beta.2/#why-us...

Like having everyone using the same guidelines (code style) when writing code. This might also be useful if everyone use it.

There is a project in Germany which monitors particulate matter. They provide a guide how to build a sensor using a SDS011 and a ESP8266: http://luftdaten.info/en/construction-manual/

Not sure if/how this would work mobile, though.

Also they don't sell licenses for 1password 4 on Windows anymore. On Windows after the 30 Day trial your stuck or forced to go cloud...

I also was/am a frequent Pocket user. But the removal of features (also pointed out by others here) and on the other hand the addition of the recommendation/feed thingy left me wondering where Pocket was headed.

Pocket for me was my archive of things for which I would love to have a great diversity of searching, clustering and organising tools. The addition of recommendation of things I may like is nice, but not a core feature for me - my content is.

I also tried Wallabag [0] which looks promising but hasn't the ecosystem around it yet. So I'm exited to see where this open sourcing of Pocket will lead us. ;-)

This uses the Google Autocomplete API which seems a bit risky to use [0] and according to this Google blog post should be already shut down [1]. Do you have any newer information on how reliable the API is?

Nice catch, updated to the new API.

Instructions are also included to use DuckDuckGo.

Wonderful. I decided to put a script together.

  #!/bin/bash
  S="$(echo "$@" | sed -E 's, +,+,g')"
  g(){
   curl -sS "https://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=$1" \
    | sed -E 's,.*\[([^]]*)\].*,\1,;s,",,g' | tr , '\n'
  }
  d(){
   curl -sS "https://duckduckgo.com/ac/?q=$1" \
    | sed -E 's,"phrase":|[][{}"],,g' | tr , '\n'
  }
  paste -d , <(g $S) <(d $S) | column -t -s ,

There is a lot of movement on the initial viewport: fullscreen background video, changing text to the left and the demo video. I found it a little hard to actually focus on any of those.

The about page made it more clear to me, what it actually is: http://www.buildwithgrid.com/about [has autoplay audio/video]

Super light grey text (almost white) on a white background. How are people supposed to read that.

"According to current estimations, the cost of motherboard should be somewhere between 500 and 700 EUR. Complete device will cost 100-150 EUR more, depending on prices and availability of N900 spare parts. Those prices are just early estimations and are subject to change" - http://neo900.org/faq#cost
