Looks like that only works for 5GB files or less, which is a shame.

Rad! Haven't run across Archive Team before. Looking into them now.

Interesting - hadn't considered that possibility. Thanks! I'll look into it.

Seems reasonable, though given the size of the file I'm probably going to have to host it somewhere for seeding purposes rather than just parking it on my home fileserver (yay Comcast monopoly in my area).

If that were the case, how would the data input into your cell phone get stored on the card? I believe at a minimum Coin uses BLE to transmit card data from your phone to the device.

Seems like you've got a WAIS to go.

Thanks for clarifying! Makes sense.

Having spent a fair amount of time in PhoneGap, I recall one of the tricky bits of using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString to call into JS land was that it could block, leading Apple to impose a 5 second timeout on that particular API call. Is that still the case? I recall that making loading large objects created/fetched via native code more complicated.

Congratulations on 2.0, regardless!

The accuracy is definitely a mixed blessing - interpolation, velocity awareness, and (screen-independent) gestures go a long way toward a good user experience.

The device can be positioned anywhere you like, but I'm guessing there's a definite learning period if you have it somewhere other than under your monitor (sort of like what I imagine Wacom users have the first time the use a screen-mapped tablet).

It's also possible that medical applications (and, by extension, deploying the hardware in a hospital) would require them to have a whole different set of dev, manufacturing, and QA procedures, much like flight control and other "mission critical" software.

The replay button in the local web UI is enough to make this instantly useful. Thanks for building this.
