LaMetric WiFi App Clock Message doohickey
I'll release this video properly tomorrow...it's best to avoid today as the US election will no doubt smother everything else that happens for the next 24 hours.
Incidentally could you let me know if you really don't like these early posted releases. I was thinking to myself that some people might just want to see original content here on patreon - rather than pre-posted youtube content.

.... suspect no one will complain (well, much anyway :)
I enjoyed this one. While an early release is nice, do what you think works best for the site. As long as your great videos keep coming I suspect
Another Brilliant episode! Your timing could not be better...still Ill never understand why computer hackers must villainize pie! Cheers
I didn't appreciate the quality of this video until the Lametric site appeared and I had to check I hadn't launched a browser window. So sharp (unlike me).
I do enjoy the early releases, but I'd continue to contribute even if there were no Patreon benefits as long as the videos keep coming. Seeing temperature in Fahrenheit hurts my eyes though ;)
I'm not fussed about early releases really, I just subscribe so hopefully keep these great videos coming. Oh and I like to see my name in lights at the end ;-) Saying that I loved the "making of..." video about the title sequence, very interesting.
Appreciate the early release videos!
I pledged for this when it came up on Kickstarter mainly on the promise that it'd show PayPal total. As is normal for a Kickstart campaign, it turned up nearly a year late and still can't show the PayPal total. The 1st time I enquired about it, they said they were working on it and it'd be available soon. A few month later I asked again and they said "why don't you make it yourself with our app maker". I think we can assume that if it was possible, someone would have done it by now. Every enquiry after that either gets ignored or deleted. So now I just have it set up to show FaceBook fan count but even that's annoying because the icon flips between the FaceBook logo and a thumbs up logo every 2 seconds. I asked them if it could be changed. Nope. With the right support, this device could be brilliant but they have made their money and are now relying on everyone else to make the apps.
I feared as much...that's why I wanted to make a point of encouraging people to look at the available apps, as well as bringing up the Chumby. Perhaps the only way something like this could ever get enough ongoing support would be if a big successful company brought it out...e.g. Amazon included a scrolling message display on the Echo. This whole internet of things is just a big bag of hurt if you can't get the data shared between devices and websites. I'd like to see a Current Realtime Views stat on my YouTube channel.
Thumbs up for early releases here.
I'm all for the early releases since Patreon donations are a great deal to guaranteed get those YouTube "First!" comments in before anyone else /YouTube_Pedant
Early releases with some original content every now and then is just fine by me.
I personally like the early releases, and you do post Patron-only videos too, there's only so much behind the scenes stuff you can post, so it's appreciated to see the videos early. I think you said the other day that it also means Patrons can point out any errors that may have slipped the net (not that I've seen one yet)
Yes hopefully if I ever leave my credit card details on screen, someone here will tell me...I'd hate for anyone to try and use it and be disappointed.
