Making The Lights Behave
Five days after starting Cheryl I started this. Colos was an iPhone and iPad app for controlling Philips Hue lights, with preset animated color transitions instead of the one flat color at a time the official app gave you. I had the bulbs, I didn't like the app, so I wrote one.
It was Cordova underneath with an Objective-C shell around it. This one actually shipped: it went into the App Store, with colos.io as its home.
I'd spent 2012 and 2013 working out Cordova packaging, plugins and build signing at Crunchbutton, so pointing all of that at my living room lights was pretty easy.
