Seems similar in concept as http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/supermechanical/twine-li... but offers a different UI/event-action model and few more integrated services. I wonder if these tiny-sensor-computer makers can come up with a standard so we can remotely control any of them without knowing the specific APIs.
I agree it does seem similar, and I backed both projects because I think these lightweight data collection devices have a big future.
Definitely agree on getting some kind of standard API across the various devices, although I expect we are probably a couple of years away from having that. Still with both Ninja Blocks and Twine getting some traction I think it's something that will happen sooner rather than later...
Hey Marcus, I don't know if this helps but www.DonationTo.com enables you to keep 100% of all your fundraising dollars. NO 5% deduction. If you don't reach your goal you still keep your funds collected. Hope this helps the Ninja Blocks project, its a very cool product overall!
I'd like to see reviews and tests. One particular concern is battery. Twine is tiny and that's nice, but it doesn't seem to have any means of charging and frankly, having to change batteries for a number of devices regularly just kills the usability for many purposes off the top of my head. This one is bigger but it looks like it can be plugged.
