Got auto flagged for putting 2 ?'s in my title lol. Emailed them and reposted without punctuation and it was fine.

This is pretty neat, I built something similar a couple months ago. I'd say try to support Windows or Linux next.

sure will do

I think it is a pretty cool concept but lmk what you guys think, really trying to gauge if this is a good idea or not. I wonder if it is scalable.
