That's awesome. I absolutely love the battery indicator on the top of the website which tells how much power is left on the server.

Included here as an image for the curious to save him some battery.

Congratulations! You've taken what I've been hoping to do & done it better!

Would love to learn more about & see your current version.

This is exactly why I am so frustrated that my youth was spent on girls, drinking, fucking off, and avoiding anything to do with all authority.

That lifestyle is behind me, and I want to do all this cool stuff, but lack the skills and the income to pull it off.

But this article has inspired me to really jump into a whole new DIY thing. Love the mindset and innovation for this. Thanks for this post!
