I understand your desire to build out an "ecosystem" of app and everything, however, I'd really like an option to go fully on my own and skip your iOS/android app.

Is it something that you plan on doing and document? Or is there an easy way I can ssh into the device and figure out on my own?

TIA!

EDIT : well, 1 minute later you answered part of my question here : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37645339. How about ssh-ing?

ssh-ing is hard because there is no USB port. There isn't even an USB controller on the board, just some rudimentary UART pins. The usb plug is just for power.

How does it communicates with anything from the external world? This same channel could be used for sshing or anything

Actually, from another comment

So there's some mechanism to make API calls to your own cloud infrastructure, but customers can't use it to skip the middleman and send things directly to the device? I hope I'm reading this wrong, because that's awful.
