I made a platform to connect cheap ESP32 microcontrollers over wifi with the cloud. Stream simple sensor data. No c coding necessary :) Would you use it?

So I migrated all my ESP32 sensors, over to Sparkfun's "Phant". Then they abruptly shut it down. I ran my own server for a while, but they also. killed development on the open source project.
