In plain words

Try Ion is a platform that lets users test Ion devices before purchasing. It uses BluetoothLE for wireless connectivity, Node.js for backend processing, and websockets for real-time communication. The interface streams video via jsmpeg, allowing remote interaction with Ion hardware.

    A Swiss army knife for testing HTTP from the terminal2022 · ▲110

    Hiya HN! Just released Artillery Probe - a Swiss army knife for testing HTTP from the CLI. Think mini-curl with better UX for common use-cases, plus a couple of extra features.
