Please don't comment like this. We don't want substantially-generated posts/projects on HN, but if a post seems unfit for HN, please flag it and email us at hn@ycombinator.com so we can have a look.

Thanks for the feedback. The repository contains the OS system that is powering the device, and another one for dataset. I’ve put a lot of effort into documenting both the vision, progress, and practical instructions, but if there are particular sections you think needs more work - would be very happy to hear.

The hardware component will be open sourced in a separate repo, once the prototype is tested in the field to validate the configuration. I hope to make it public in January.

The key qualifier for Show HN is that it's something you've made that other people can play with. It needs to be somewhat complete and working – enough for basic demo/testing – to be eligible. If it's a plan or ongoing effort to get something working, it's not ready for Show HN. If there's an interesting story behind the ongoing effrot, it can be a blog post, but not a Show HN. With hardware projects, a video is sufficient, but the video needs to depict the thing working.

Feel free to email us (hn@ycombinator.com) to discuss further.

Thank you for the feedback. The demo of the operating system of the device is ready and can be played with in the open source repository. The hardware itself is still in works, but the operating system can run on any embedded computer so that people can try it even on their own raspberry pi at home.

I’ll email you separately as well.
