In plain words

CattlePi is a project that automates setup and updates for Raspberry Pi devices. It provides a backend API and documentation for managing multiple Raspberry Pis, allowing users to boot standard images or deploy custom-built ones. The system is designed for anyone managing several Raspberry Pi devices who needs centralized configuration and update management. It aims to simplify scenarios that would otherwise be difficult to handle manually across multiple devices.

From the sources

cattlepi.com is the documentation companion for the CattlePi project. We recommend you go through the project README as a first step. api.cattlepi.com provides a prebuilt API back-end and can also serve the standard image files. You can use this api endpoint to configure your own devices. They can boot the standard images or you can point them to images that you’ve built on your own. Our hope is that you’ll find it useful and cattlepi will unlock scenarios that were impossible or hard to manage before. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days. The idea is there is a large class of line-of-business mobile apps, and the process of getting a simple form + button on a mobile device, in a native app,…
