see also that on-demand book printer that prints double-sided , cuts, and binds the book with cover. its on-site automated assembly in general. IKEA's strategy is a bit like this too. its like what if IKEA had a robot that manufactured the furniture at retail location? what if the lego block catalog was available from a kiosk in the toy aisle and you could print individual parts by tapping?
i've been using it for the past 2 months and it has random crashes i can't explain. the error messages are not helpful. i will probably be switching to mediaelement in a few days. i think mediaelement has a broader device support. if you look at the issues tab on html5js you see a lot of problems with ipad and other mobile devices.
