Top Forums Programming Wuhan Coronavirus Status for China - Rapid Prototype Blynk App with ESP8266 Post 303043587 by Neo on Saturday 1st of February 2020 08:18:43 AM

Update:

I know why Blynk auto-deleted the Blynk app on one of my iPhones. The reason is about "money". Blynk wants our money, as soon as you get beyond a "toy" app with a few data variables. If you build any app of any substance, you will pay for it.

Blynk gives 2000 tiny toy credits for a user to build an app. But that means across all devices on same email account. So because I was running (1) a small six data point service monitoring app and (2) the Wuhan virus stats app with for data points; Blynk synced my two iPhones and deleted the small server monitoring app without warning and without saving the data for the app anywhere.

However, you can avoid having Blynk auto-delete your apps like this by having a different email for each app, LOL.

Amazing! Blynk considers deleting your Blynk app without warning or saving the app before they delete it as "their business model". Lesson Learned!

BEWARE.

My goal was to build a free public service application for those concerned about the looming coronavirus pandemic in China. I learned a lot about Blynk in the process, obviously I cannot build anything more than a "toy app" before Blynk will require coin. I am a bit in shock about this; but then again, what do we expect from corporations these days? They are all in it for the big money, right?!

Was not really happy with the NTP clients for the ESP8266 because, after a few years of game engine programming, I am not a fan of a lot of code and delays in the main loop, so here is a "slightly better NTP client" for the ESP8266. In a nutshell, instead of having a delay in the main loop as a... (1 Reply)
