Super interesting. Looks like you think there are a wide-range of potential use cases (https://www.getstructure.io/use-cases) but will be curious to see who the early adopters are... thoughts about who jump in first?


There's a lot of interest in manufacturing and logistics (warehouses and trucking). I think that's because these industries are under served for technology in general, and IoT is great fit for their a bunch of their use-cases.


We're working with several early companies in the industrial space, especially logistics and manufacturing.


IMO the tutorial really made it. As startup devs, we get so many "try my app/platform/api" requests, but part of the reason I tried it was the smooth onboarding with a 5-minute intro. At first glance it felt to me like "Zapier for Things" plus a little more. The platform is surprisingly polished for a first release and I'm excited to see where it goes.


Been playing with it for a couple days, really cool tool. I'm working on building the weather dashboard here: https://docs.getstructure.io/getting-started/walkthrough/


Particularly liked the NodeRed like WorkFlow platform, which is intuitive, easy to use.


Great feedback. Glad you found it intuitive!


Looks awesome but there seems to be a problem with using Twitter in the workflows.


Yep, unfortunately so many people are signing up for the kit can Twitter has throttled our app, which isn't letting all the messages through. We're working with their support now. It's letting some through though, so keep trying!


Way cool! You should get this in high schools!

We're exploring that possibility. Interesting potential!


Love to help out and get more kits for schools. Think youngsters should definitely be playing with hardware.


Great work folks, looks fantastic, can't wait to give it a whirl. :)


Thanks, we're excited to show it to the world.


This is awesome. I might finally make that "Big Red Deploy Button" for the engineering team with this!

I see the Slack output, is there a good way to send a Slack command input to a workflow?


You can use the Webhook Trigger to do that pretty easily: https://docs.getstructure.io/workflows/triggers/webhook/


Messing with the workflows today, very simple, very clean. Super impressed!


Very cool. Is there a getting started tutorial somewhere?


Absolutely. https://docs.getstructure.io/getting-started/walkthrough/ There are also specific hardware guides as well.
