seriously impressed with blynk.cc for IoT stuff. Very fast to make a smartphone UI for controlling your bits and pieces; made a *super* responsive frontend.

although I will say that the credit system in the app is a barrier to going beyond your first hack. *Paying* by the UI element when you don't know if you will use them *sucks*. cc/ @blynk_app

You can delete the widget you don't need it and get Energy back in full . What exactly *sucks* about that? That it saves you weeks of app development? Or that you can build a prototype in a few mins? or about spending a few bucks for a nice app? 😃

I do appreciate how easy you’ve made things. My point, from a UX point of view, is that instead of playing around freely, I sat there counting how many widgets and shares I could ‘afford’ before I’d figured out if it blynk was any good.
