How LEGO® Education uses the Web Bluetooth and the Web Serial APIs
This is awesome and a great example of how the web beats native apps - if it is allowed to.

I'm doing the Macmillan 100 Dragon Ride in a few weeks, hauling my carcass round the Bannau Brycheiniog in memory of my brother Theo. Any donations will make a huge difference to enable Macmillan support cancer patients and their families.
Decided on the topic of a new talk for this fall.
It's an explanation and live demo of a completely browser based cash register, including barcode scanner, cash drawer, customer displays and receipt printer. All using WebSerial, WebUSB, WebHID and other Fugu APIs.
Demo is done. Code is open-source. Still working on the actual talk.
If there are any conferences interested in such a topic, let me know!
