1GB distro to display a full screen browser seems a bit excessive Edit: there is a lite version at 557MB, didn't notice at first due to it having two dates in the name
I don't understand the effort here. Making an image implies supporting it; does the author really think it's going to be worth his time to "support" what is surely a couple of bash scripts wrapped up in 600MB of OS? It seems like a simple how-to blog post would have been more appropriate.
Developer here. Well, people are using it. And the power of this is that I can accept pull requests, and have nightly builds. OctoPi, my distro before this got 100k downloads because of this fact.
I made it because I needed it, and others need it too. I have three collaborators with me who made the dashboard app.
