Ok, time to make an "I'm not dead" update.I'm not dead.

There's lots of work happening on Buttplug right now, but most of it is fairly invisible. I've been spending lots of time learning about how to properly build web app dependencies so developers can start using the same components I used to make Syncydink and Playground. This has taken more time than planned (was a rather complex learning process to get typescript/vue.js/webpack to all play together nicely), but is finally done. The hope here is that people that want to write new webapps for buttplug can do so quickly and easily with these components.

https://buttplug.world/playgroundSo far, all of the applications for Buttplug has been about outside media. Movies, games, etc... 

Decided to go more minimal and just make a web app for testing toys and basic "manual" control. It's called Playground.

It's time for this month's Q&A! If you've got any questions for me about Metafetish, Buttplug, Sex Tech, Me, The Universe, etc..., post them in the comments to this post.(General project status post coming later this evening)

Our first emergency bugfix! Found an issue in the updater right after I released v0.1.1, fixed that and pushed out v0.1.2 shortly afterward last night. According to logs, only 5 people downloaded v0.1.1 before that, so if you're one of those 5, you should update to v0.1.2. :)

Buttplug C# 0.1.1 is out! Get it athttps://github.com/metafetish/buttplug-csharp/releases/tag/0.1.1

• Added auto update and update checking functionality
• Added support for the following hardware: WeVibe 4 Plus, Ditto, Nova, Pivot, Wish, Verge, Lovense Domi
• Added more product names for the Lovense Hush (LVS-Z36, LVS_Z001)
• Added Game Vibration Router application
• WebsocketServer now defaults to SSL

It's time for this month's Q&A post! I keep saying these are going to be videos, but has yet to happen, so this month I think I'll be a bit more realistic and just say post your questions about Metafetish/Buttplug/Me/Whatever in the comments to this post and I'll answer here like I normally do. :)

I just updated to Chrome 61 on my Debian box, and whatever bug was holding up bluetooth usage on Chrome on Linux is fixed! The Fleshlight Launch now works fine with syncydink in local connect mode! Also tested the Lovense Hush Plug, it works too. I think this puts Linux Chrome in feature parity with macOS and Android for buttplug-js

Took a bit of a diversion from buttplug/syncydink over the past few days.Having finally gotten sick of reading all of the reports of people having their Fleshlight Launch bricked by firmware updates, I spent the weekend writing my own firmware loader. I now have a node.js/typescript based loader that can load Launch firmware (and as soon as I get one, Pearl 2 firmware) from desktops. I'll be porting this to work in Chrome, so that we can hopefully fix firmware loading from Android, which is usually where problems crop up.

I'll be writing a full blog post about the internals of firmware loading, but that may be a bit. Some fun facts I learned along the way:

New dev log post. Nothing too exciting since I usually post most of this kinda of info to patreon for patrons in real time, but hopefully helpful
