Is there a HID over GATT YAML? From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37522059 : > https://github.com/DJm00n/ControllersInfo : HID profiles for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Stadia, and Switch > "HID over GATT Profile (HOGP) 1.0" https://www.bluetooth.org/docman/handlers/downloaddoc.ashx?d...

That’s an interesting way to say Chrome Only feature but you shouldn’t care because Mozilla ran Firefox into 3%/ground and Safari doesn’t matter. IDK… to the point of the project… I guess that’s cool. But once you have defined and tested your GATTs, it hasn’t been my experience to come back to it a ton of times. I just wrote…

That's exactly my concern, coupled with a (perceived) small pool of Bluetooth developers. Do you think there's a market for a Postman style commercial cloud product for team collaboration?
It's like magic when using an LLM to convert the spec to YML to runnable apps.
There absolutely needs to be a general consensus around defining a GATT profile. The challenge is that each company has their own way of using GATT and documenting how it works.
As another commenter mentioned, it's common practice to shove all your device's functionality into one characteristic to reduce service discovery time (and, in some cases, memory footprint in firmware). With that in mind, can OpenBLE be used to describe the structure of the bytes being read, written, and indicated by the characteristics? OpenAPI is useful because it not only generates a frontend for testing an API, i…
Hey, thanks for checking out my project. So the spec is independent of Web Bluetooth; like Swagger is to Swagger UI. I considered electron but it needs installation and wouldn't run on mobiles. Perhaps Web Bluetooth is not ready for devices, but is perfect for dev tools like this one. As of today it can generate an Arduino GATT server; I'm working to support more platforms, Zephyr, iOS etc.
