Hi,
Recently I created a framework aimed to simplify implementation of some common use cases around IoT, like user interface, state synchronization, data storage etc. Just thought to share it here, maybe someone will find it useful (it's been developed having Arduino, ESP and similar in mind).
You can find all the info on project page https://stargate-system.com/
I'd love to hear what you think about such concept and the project itself. Do you think it's worth further effort?
