esp-web-tools VS sandspiel

Some feedback to make your project easier to install and integrate better with Home Assistant (I'm the founder):

Home Assistant is building a voice assistant as part of our Year of the Voice theme. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/04/27/year-of-the-vo...

As part of our recent chapter 2 milestone, we introduced new Assist Pipelines. This allows users to configure multiple voice assistants. Your project is using the old "conversation" API. Instead it should use our new assist pipelines API. Docs: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/voice/pipelines/

You can even off-load the STT and TTS fully to Home Assistant and only focus on wake words.

You will see a lot higher adoption rate if users can just buy the ESP BOX and install the software on it without installing/compiling stuff. That's exactly why we created ESP Web Tools. It offers projects to offer browser-based installation directly from their website. https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/

If you're going the ESP Web Tools route (and you should!), we've also created Improv Wi-Fi, a small protocol to configure Wi-Fi on the ESP device. This will allow ESP Web Tools to offer an onboarding wizard in the browser once the software has been installed. More info at https://www.improv-wifi.com/

Good luck!

Note: if anyone else wants to make an installer website like this, it’s called ESP Web Tools and open source: https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/

ESP Web Tools uses WebSerial to allow users to install, update and manage firmware running on ESP microcontrollers: https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/

If you want to make the project even more accessible, consider setting up a GitHub pages with ESP Web Tools: https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/

Instead of esptool suggestions, use ESP web tools and your whole flow can be web based. https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/

shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated.

sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/

Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-...

Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/

Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/

etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using WASM when it "just works" and is indistinguishable from optimized JavaScript

I don't really play games, but I spent a fair amount of time on sandspiel (I saw it on hackernews a few times).
