Everything is better with Bluetooth

" summary

Badge runs real JavaScript locally using the Espruino interpreter, not proxying to a server, and a full UI plus games and a REPL fit in about 20 KB of JS. Development happens over web Bluetooth + puck so pages can push code and query sensors. Badge exposes NFC, capacitive corners, LEDs, can spoof a keyboard, control BLE light bulbs and a drone, and battery life is roughly a week (button-only variants last months).
