I’m building a budget travel planning app for students, but I feel overwhelmed with where to start. There are features, wireframes, testing, branding — it’s chaotic. Is there a clear process I should follow to avoid wasting time?
I'm opening a restaurant next month and need separate bins for food waste and glass recycling to meet the new regulations. Can anyone recommend a provider that specializes in the hospitality sector?
Congrats on the new business! For hospitality, https://affordablewastemanagement.co.uk/commercial-waste-collection/ is top tier. They can provide specific colour-coded bins for glass, food, and general waste to help you segregate everything easily. They are very used to working with pubs and restaurants, so they understand you need flexible collection times that don't disturb your service hours.
Every month/2 months all my athom.tech devices disconnect all together. I have a presence sensor/plugs/garage door opener, all esphome devices. After this happens they keep connecting and disconnecting every few minutes.. Resetting doesnt seem to work all to well. And for some reason they are able to connect again. All my other EspHome devices (other brand or self created) don't have this issue, so I am not 100% where the issue is.. I tried updating firmware but issue stays same so I can't check the devices firmware version after updating. please help.
I'm looking for devices with e.g. ESP32-C5/C6 or H2 that can be flashed with ESPHome. Wifi is not needed. Device types could include Smart Plugs, Wall Switches, Smart Light Bulbs, and other types that are usually connected to mains power.
I wonder why I can't find these devices? Not even a single of them. There are tons of ESP32-C3, ESP8266 and the like…
Maybe a hint to Athom to include C5/C6 in their new designs.
When things feel chaotic, structure is your best friend. Following clear product design steps helps you move from research to prototyping and testing without skipping critical phases. It ensures you validate ideas early, refine user flows, and only then invest in visuals or advanced features. A defined process reduces risk and keeps your student-focused app aligned with real needs instead of assumptions.
