From 060c869e3ea3f0ee9df0ddca171261404ccca541 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Prichard Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2019 21:28:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [anyfesto-issue16] Clarify language around Anyfesto's discoverability Summary ======= Make clearer that Anyfesto's entry-point is a Wifi access point! Details ======= This PR results from having having known about the Anyfesto project for three gods-damned years and me not understanding that the thing appears as an access point to geo-adjacent users. That fact should be right on the label. "Captive Portal" didn't mean a thing to me until I looked it up. I doubt many people outside of IT will know wth it means either, it's too esoteric. Discoverability and adoption of Anyfesto as a project might increase if it's made clearer in README.md how an Anyfest box is discoverable to the world. Testing ======= Maybe the fact of Anyfesto's Wifi-ness is obvious to everybody but me?
