That’s part of the plan too, a BLF projects web site to handle signups directly, but there are some details about user authentication which aren’t going to be resolve-able any time soon. I’d need sb to add an Oauth provider module or something similar to BLF in order to let another site handle the same set of users. So for now it would have to be done through an interest-list thread… which could be separate from the discussion thread.
I’m not really sure how useful it would be, but at least it’d be a good excuse to play with some modern web tech. OTOH, I already have too many projects…
I was expecting it to be available by now. I wasn’t really expecting four months of crickets after the first prototype though. So it’s already late, and I’m hoping it’ll be out well before the holidays. Maybe if things go well, the second prototypes will go out soon, and have no significant issues, and then it could clear the way for sales to start? I really don’t know.
That’s impressive. Natural language processing is tough stuff (or so I’ve heard). On the other hand, how about setting a recognizable pattern and inform everyone to include in the request?
Btw been a while since I last read this thread, now I’d like to book 2 more (already in for 1).
About muggle-mode. Without following too much discussion about Anduril and maybe repeating a thought process already finished, I just took the time to read the current Anduril firmware in the second post, and based on some discussion on BLF and my own experience, I think that disconnecting the power to get out of muggle mode makes it too easy. It will make me not lending the light out to muggles if simply opening the battery compartment or even loosening the tailcap will make the FW3A into something frightening for them.
Maybe another six clicks to get out of muggle mode would do the trick, instead of disconnecting the power. I think that muggle mode is recognisable enough for flashoholics (or else it may need a subtile visible marker somehow during operation) that they will realise that they are in it and have to perform the six-clix to get back to full operation.
