Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a platform for Raspberry Pi and other embedded Linux devices and wanted to get some feedback from the community here.
The idea is basically to make Raspberry Pi development and deployment a lot simpler by introducing an Android-like experience for edge devices.
Right now, when working with Pi or similar boards, you usually end up doing the same things over and over again: SSH setup, installing dependencies, configuring services, scripts, Docker, OTA updates, etc.
The goal here is to simplify that into something more unified:
-A centralized app store for Raspberry Pi apps
- Remote install/update of applications on devices
- A Go-based SDK for building apps/services
- Support for other languages like Java, Python, C++
Apps that can run across multiple Pi devices (3/4/5, etc.)
We’re also hoping to eventually have developers building useful apps for the store itself, so it becomes more of an ecosystem rather than just a tool.
Right now I’m especially looking for feedback from Raspberry Pi users:
- Would something like this actually be useful in real projects?
-What would be missing for you to consider using it?
