Framin can be downloaded from Marketplace and it is easy to produce applications using web services and terminal sensors without any knowledge of engineers. If it is a simple application such as "an application that projects nearby weather on a lock screen", it can be produced in about an hour, and if you get accustomed, you can also create an application with a high degree of difficulty. High degree of freedom has become an application that seems to be a Firefox OS of Uri.


"Gluin" is web basedIoT (Internet of Things)As a programming tool "WoT (Web Of Things)A tool that can realize.


The interface of "Gluin" is simple as follows. This is a recipe that "It reacts to a specific Tweet to let the Christmas tree light up and turns off", Huckathon being done on that day also uses Gluin, HTML5 does not write complicated code , "Turn off the TV through the web" and other "mono" operations become possible.


I also found "Open Web Board" which Mozilla distributed for developers. It is a part that receives Gluin's commands, and by using it for the device you want to operate, you can realize the operation of every device.


"Web-cast" of content sharing function between terminals using NFC. It is possible to play the same movie with Fx 0 with NFC Touch from Fx 0 during movie playback.
