This is quite centered around hetero dudes, which I find sad.

FlorisBoard (at least the beta) is getting there (swiped on FlorisBoard), though it’s not quite there yet

Lol

Can’t relate. It’s not harder to get your hands on a matrix account in comparison to a mail account. And for those that want it even easier, just download Element and you are guided through the default registration at matrix.org

Why not use VIM though?

Well it seems they don’t publish a signing key, so that’s a good reason against it.

In my understanding a problem often is that electricity isn’t used when renewable electricity sources can provide it. One solution to this is storing it, another (complementary) one is to adjust the usage to times when there is a lot of renewable energy available. This especially makes sense for big consumers (like factories), but a lot of washing machines also sum up to a lot of electricity demand. So we have to adjust to mainly use electricity when it’s available via renewable sources, and this thing can hopefully help with that.

By saying that it cost around 5€ I meant that the material to build this cost me around 5€. I would happily set them up for free if one gave me the material for free, but the microcontroller and so on do cost some money.

The API and (of course) the source code are free (as in freedom, being AGPL licensed). And since I did my best to document it well and provide easy to follow instructions in the README, I do think I managed to make it free as in freedom.

That looks perfect, thanks!

Ah I should have added I’m looking for an android app

Codeberg is wonderful and also really easy to switch to from Github, as it has nice migration features.
