First Things Second...

Oh, it looks like I was carried away by my excitement and totally forgot to tell you what is going to change 😳

Control Unit: coming up with an affordable, functional and good looking option that does not involve large scale manufacturing and shipment logistics. Heck, maybe even design a version of FriendlyStack that works without a control unit!

Scanner Support: so far FriendlyStack requires a Linux compatible scanner and some configuration to enable scanning. Only a handful of scanners is currently supported "out of the box". While the number of supported scanners will grow (community support is key) I will add (actually I did so a few days ago) support for network scanning. This will work with any scanner capable of scanning into a PDF file on a Windows/Samba share.

Campaign and Your Involvement: let's try something different! FriendlyStack is fully functional and open source. You can download it any time you like and give it a try (ok, for now you still need the Arduino Uno™ based control unit) and it is for free. While I work on above enhancements you can provide input and feedback and enjoy the new features as soon as I release them. At some point I will launch a crowdfunding campaign where you can contribute whatever amount you consider appropriate to support the ongoing development of FriendlyStack.

This will only work, if you provide feedback and spread the word and get others involved...
