Bloop Box Config

Configuration utility for Bloop Boxes.

This utility is written as a PWA, which allows you to run it on your phone even when you are offline (after you opened it the first time). On both Android and iOS you can add the utility to your home screen, which makes it behave like a native application. Some desktop browsers like Chrome allow you to do the same.

Deployment

This repository is set up to create GitHub releases with a base path set to /. So if you want to deploy to it yourself, you have to extract the release into the root directory of a (sub-) domain. Alternatively you can just use our automatic GitHub Pages deployment which will always be kept up-to-date:

Usage

When opening the utility in your browser, you can choose between different commands to be written to a config tag. When you are happy with the command, you can then either copy it to your clipboard, or when supported by your device (at the time of writing, only Chrome on Android), directly write it to an NFC tag.
