For those who want to see how it was built, he still has a few videos about the early stages of its development on his YouTube:

Yep! I Twitched the development live! I only lost the first episode where I wrote the first lines. I'll re-enact it this week (maybe tomorrow) and upload it too and make it a series.

I did download it if that helps (the video when you started with "test 123"). Will be up in ~2h https://youtu.be/qFoKjhIFGsk

Oh my god thank you! I lost it! How did you get it? Can you tweet me @levelsio?

What's the tech stack used and where is it hosted?

And what are the monetization plans?

On: Eddystone Web Bluetooth

[zurfyx]

Hey! I wrote this library[0] as a part of Google Summer of Code 2017 @ Physical Web organization. I found no easy way of integrating (reading & writing URLs) my browsed-based app[1] with Eddyson. While there are official libraries for both iOS and Android, I found none for Eddyson.

So I thought this could be an opportunity to dig into the Physical Web specifications[2], to build something easy to use for us (web developers <3) since Web Bluetooth is getting more and more popular.

Looking forward to your feedback! =D

PS: Special thanks to @beaufortfrancois for the super useful source code of the default Physical Web Eddystone config URL[3].

It looks great atm, now it matches the colors of the site. They even recently added it a grey-er background color which makes it different from the content background.
