Hello Hacker News! I'm excited to announce the launch of a project that I've working on for quite a while now.

Flipper is an embedded development platform that aims to redefine the traditional embedded programming model. Flipper lets you write code on a host computer that controls the embedded device remotely. This means that you can write code that interacts with embedded hardware peripherals from any programming language, on any platform. Our platform gives developers the ability to use the tools that they already know to control an embedded device. Since all of the application logic that is controlling the platform runs on the host, it can be developed and debugged using techniques already familiar to the developer. We hope that this will decrease the barrier to entry needed to work with embedded hardware and enable a greater number of projects that rely on embedded systems.
Flipper aims to promote a new kind of embedded development cycle that is relatively new and unexplored. I am a firm believer that a real-time embedded development workflow would benefit thousands of developers and help bring embedded to a wider audience. I gave a talk at Mozilla detailing the platform; you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/8IS7Xw1Ihco?t=1777
