Heh, so we are probably alone covering the web API segment of the
market? :)

So there are no copyright issues blocking further development.  But
there are others, if you were to leave, so it is a real risk that should
be taken into account. :)

Right.  So there are no copyright issues blocking futher development
there either.  That code is far as I can tell, the code from 2013 before
the program was commercialized.  I had a look at a later version from
NXC, but did not get far before it was pulled.  I learned back then that
people on github can remove other peoples git repositories if they want
to.  My github repository disappeared without my concent.  Learned not
to trust github to grant me control over my own git repositories when it
happend. :)

Anyway, I never managed to get the code to build, neither the one you
pointed to or the NXC code, so I do not really know how well it work.

Perhaps some GUI design features we could learn from, if you have used
it already in teaching?

Btw, regarding GUI, can you push the latest web changes to
<URL: http://nikita.hioa.no:3000/ >?  Did not find  you on IRC, so I
poke here instead. :)
