Building an IFTTT-like app #59

Closed vprasanth closed 5 years ago

vprasanth commented 5 years ago

Hi, note sure where else to ask. But I'm trying to determine if I can use the SDK (or some other interface via gamesense) to control rgb on my keyboard for tasks outside of gaming. Basically like an IFTTT for the kb... is this doable? I'm also on OSX and not sure if I'm even able to develop on this platform. Any advice here would be grateful!

The endpoint uses JSON to communicate. If you can send a JSON request from the app you are developing to the endpoint, you are good to go.

Source: Currently fiddlying around with TeamSpeak3 in C and im sending request to the endpoint more or less without any issues (see my issue for details on that) for the OLED screen on my arctis wireless box and tactiles feedbacks on my rival

As @szabolcs-dekany92 has said, the endpoint just uses JSON. If setup correctly following the guides, you'll have an endpoint to make POST requests to. The technology you use for this makes no difference as you're just POSTing and receiving JSON data.

I was working on a project in .Net using C# and it was extremely simple to get going.

Thank you, sorry I didn't properly go over the readme md files! Now I just need to find a local store with an apex kb in stock T__T

@mbrewerton what happened to your app - is it public?

I don't really know what's out there, as there's no place to see the standalone GameSense apps. This also risks me reinventing the wheel.

@Treer It's funny you should mention that. My thoughts exactly, I think there's a missed opportunity there. Like what npm is to nodejs, something like that for kb apps.

We had talked about doing something like that.
