6 sourcesAsk HN: Proposals about developing a cross platform Bluetooth manager/daemon
2 points · Open discussionHello HN,
I am the author of [bluetuith](https://github.com/darkhz/bluetuith), an open-source TUI-based bluetooth manager for Linux only. I have been working on this project for over 2 years on and off, and I was wondering about extending support to other platforms as well.
To begin with, the Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) implementation on Linux is fairly standardized (via bluez APIs), but on other platforms, especially windows, Bluetooth APIs are finicky, and tricky to deal with, and also there is no standardized management in general.
I would like to start creating a centralized Bluetooth server or a daemon for other platforms (natively maybe), mainly Windows and Linux, which can expose relevant APIs so that clients can use them to handle Bluetooth-based operations. I know this is quite an uphill task, but I would like suggestions on how t
Read the rest
o implement it, or if anyone has a better idea, please do suggest that as well.
To summarize, my current plan is this:
* Create bluetooth servers natively for each platform, utilizing the platform's proven APIs to handle bluetooth-based functions and expose a standard API to clients
* Adapt clients to use said APIs provided by the daemons to allow the user to control bluetooth in general.
For the server implementation (mainly to other platforms), I will require contributors, so contributors are highly welcome to be involved in the project. I am in the process of securing an [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/) grant to invest into this project and mainly pay contributors to implement this platform-wise (the proposal has been accepted, and the negotiation call will be hosted in a few weeks, more details about this can be further published if anyone has questions about this. If contributors are confirmed, maybe the budget could be adjusted as well).
Note: By Bluetooth operations, I mainly mean Bluetooth Classic based operations.
Show HN: Bluetuith – A console TUI-based Bluetooth manager
Hello HN,
bluetuith is a Bluetooth manager for the terminal, which aims to replace most Bluetooth managers, and can perform any Bluetooth based operations and interact with devices.
Please have a look at the repository and the documentation for more information.
I have been working on this for some time now, and I would like constructive suggestions to further improve the application, especially with regards to cross-platform functionality, so that the user experience can be enhanced. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Contributors are welcome as well.
