https://github.com/Whomane/Whomane/blob/cc3a65ffba589b6ff996... and https://github.com/Whomane/Whomane/blob/cc3a65ffba589b6ff996... will likely interest any potential adopter

I guess it pairs with the phone for network connectivity?

Right now it connects directly to the internet! Still have to finish bluetooth stuff so that it could connect to the phone directly

so, it has on-board wifi and thus only works at home, at work, or when public wifi is available to it? I couldn't readily tell because the instructions seem to be oriented toward development time, but the photo shows it clipped to the jacket as if it is to be worn while out and about
