The easiest way to create web UIs for ROS robots
Our new, free ros-tool capability makes it trivial to interact with ROS from the web. It provides a React API for subscribing and publish to topics and for placing service calls. It works with both ROS 1 and 2, and unlike rosbridge, it caches all data in the cloud, which means your UIs will work even when your robot is offline (just showing the latest data). Since all data is synced via the cloud, it is also much easier and more efficient to aggregate data from multiple robots, e.g., for showing your fleet on a map.

In plain words
This free tool enables developers to build web interfaces for ROS robots using a React API that subscribes to topics, publishes messages, and makes service calls. It supports both ROS 1 and 2, and stores data in the cloud so interfaces display the latest information even when robots are offline. The cloud-based architecture simplifies managing multiple robots simultaneously, such as displaying an entire fleet on a shared map.

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
