I love buying new toys!

Just created my own publish-subscribe-based IoT protocol for the NodeMCU. It's like a simplified version of MQTT and pretty error-rich. (So it shouldn't be used in important cases). But the cool thing is that you can use a simple NodeMCU to host a server and don't need to set up a Mosquitto Server on a Linux Machine.

Will release on GitHub soon!
Also made an example Client in PHP!

Setting up a nodemcu web server for fun and now Silicon Valley S03E09! Fun times :)

I just bought an ESP8266 NodeMCU v2

Waiting for it to arrive
I'm so hyped

! Rant

Recently received my ESP8266 and for bad or for worse quickly flashed it to use thingsSDK and espruino.

I have setup a webserver on it but at the moment you need to go to its local ip to see the page, does any one have tryed this before and overcome to redirect all requests to that page? Any ideas are welcome, i know this can be done easly with LUA but cant code LUA, yet...

Wtf is this ESP32 shit and it's hype?

I bought one because I thought JS on a microcontroller? That's gotta be fun!

I'm a hobbiest when it comes to MCUs and I do JS as a job, so I tought I'm made for this and I know at least as much as all the kids on the internet doing it.

Nothing makes sense with this shit. You have to flash wildly compiled modules of WHATEVERTHEFUCK with fucken python development-kits which have something to do with Lua to give you some kind of node-REPL which answers you with a bunch of strangely-looking errors starting with "stdin:x:".
If this NODE-MCU shit is made for JS why is there stuff about Lua everywhere you go with this, I don't get a single thing. Now I'm sitting on about 3 different git repos of sdks or what do I know and know less than before.

Oh and there is actually not a single tutorial really targetting the esp32. it's all about that 82xx-model.

Then I start googling around a bit more - It's not even ES6, it's just some ES3/5 shit. Why would you even do this. That's actually harder to manage than classic C/C++. You get no gain with it. Fuck me.

Wtf bro.
