Haute Codeture
summary
Outfit of LEDs that strangers control via a URL, built end-to-end: a browser web app controls LEDs that publishes commands, an MQTT-based pipeline (moved from Socket.IO) with a broker hosted off Heroku and later on DigitalOcean, and microcontroller clients upgraded to an Adafruit Feather M0 Wi‑Fi for reliability and lower power. Notes on failures: flaky WebSocket connections, skirt reboots at a demo, iterative fixes, and battery/runtime tradeoffs with cost versus stability.
