This is theoretically interesting! I want to see this become ubiquitous – connected device apps <i>should</i> be consolidated into one interface, indexed by place (do you need your one lightbulb app outside your home?)<p>When you walk into a new room, shouldn&#x27;t all light switches automatically popup on your device?<p>This almost feels like Wordpress for places and times, with all the widgets and themes…but it needs traction first, tricky.

Yeah, feels like snapchat + wordpress for locations. If the code is released open source, or their RasPi hardware goes on sale, it would be nice to install data bubble servers in areas with low bandwidth (festivals) or no internet (subways).
