    I believe it's to testify against Assange, which she has decided not to do as Assange's case is a legal grey area to say the least. I wouldn't say it's Manning's choice so much as …

    EDIT: Ran out of time to finish the comment: Allowing this to run on mobile means that you can develop/monitor systems on mobile, cluster the systemsphone with other nodered instan…

    Exactly this. The best example here is NodeRed, Javascript underneath and a dataflow UI on top. You can get connectors for pretty much anything eg. Raspberry pi robot/ home automat…
