Hello all,

It has been a long time since I (William Glover) have updated anything on our Hackaday page, and for that I do apologize.

However, even though it has been a while, we have not stopped working! Since last time we posted:

• We have continued to update our image recognition algorithms
  • Let’s just say, I am becoming a believer that this is really going to happen. Every time we train, we are getting more accurate, and in turn getting less false positives. We are testing against random videos off media websites. It puts a smile on my face – it really does.
• Switched from the Pi Zero to the Pi 3
  • We are ramping up for a possible beta/alpha-ish release! In order to do this we needed to have hardware that is readily available. The Pi Zero W is just too difficult to get at this point in time.
• Designed a new case!
  • Yea that is right, the cases you all have loved, were in fact lovely. However, they did not accommodate the Pi 3, and l promise the new case will not disappoint! I’m not including any pics yet, because we are playing around with docks, and mechanical options which will be customizable by the consumer (which is you!!)… What is better than non-custom… Custom!
• Social Media
  • We are now on Instagram & Facebook – Make sure to follow us, please:
    • https://www.instagram.com/snappcat.official/
    • https://www.facebook.com/SnappCat/
• Got our first server up and running
  • We have acquired a long-term loaner server, and it is glorious. We are working on everything from how users interface with SnappCat, to how many users do we want to support (in the beginning); To infinity and beyond –Buzz Lightyear

Alright so my apologies on the lengthy blog, which contains no pictures… wait, I will add at least one picture. Anyways, this is what we have been up to, people of Hackaday; so love our page, follow us, comment, you know do everything awesome!
