Hey there. I was thinking about making a laundryview app for my school, and I saw that you had made one. Right now, there's no license on the code, and I was wondering if you were planning on making it usable under a free license. If you are, I'd probably fork it and be an active contributor to upstream.

(Also, this isn't really the best place to ask, but I saw that you use a school-specific API key, and I was wondering if you could enlighten me as to whether LaundryView gives those out freely, or if I'll need to hassle my administration.)

Hey Chris,

Definitely feel free to fork it, it's all for academic purposes. In terms of the API key, the school payed this company: http://www.laundryview.com/lvs.php to embed some sort of laundry machine status reader into the machines, years before I came to Wake Forest. I am not sure if they still operate since I don't see any other schools on their website, but it's worth a shot reaching out to them. I don't think it's a free service either. If you have any questions about the iOS code though, definitely let me know. I wrote it pretty quickly, so don't be surprised if it's not perfect or I made glaring errors.

Best of luck,

Nick
