create an API to search recipies and pretty much everything else we can do on the website or app.
Allow signin with OAuth tokens, (sign in with google etc).
I’ve discovered out how to talk to the controller:

And I’d like to develop Actions for Google assistant. I find when brewing or distilling my hands are always wet and/or sticky and using a touch screen and touch ID is a PIA, so I’d like to be able to issue voice commands.
Yes this is something you guys could develop, but if you opened up your platform, other developers can develope whatever they find useful and make them freely available, and the more useful plugins and functionality there is for the grainfather the more potential customers will be willing to buy your product, and it won’t cost you guys a dime, and none of your competitors are doing it.
And for me it means I don’t have to wait for you to develop the functionality, I can just do it my self.
I could pick apart your website figure out how it is talking to the servers, and just make my google assistant app do the same, but that would be a hack at best, and API would be so much cleaner and using OAuth tokens for login users of my app wouldn’t need to provide user names and paswords, they’d just link their google account.
