The development started around 30 days ago and is going very well, it is always more work than one would hope, and issues need to be fixed, but the results are that, the web interface have had some big improvements, and there are new features, and everything is just working better.
(SteemPi runs on a (cheap) Raspberry Pi mini computer that connects to your TV (HDMI) and it shows you a webinterface with the press of a button on your TV remote. it shows useful Steem related information, apps, links, cointickers and it has some entertainment as well. Beside the functions of the webinterface, the SteemPi system can also notify you on Steemit updates, with LED light notifications)
SteemPi will have a tutorial on (Github), and the last steps in fine-tuning the web interface and cleaning up the code are being made. also there will be comments added to to the code to make everything more easy for others to edit and customize SteemPi to there needs.
The release of SteemPi v1.0 is probably within 1 or 2 weeks. and will include at least the following features:
SteemPi v1.0 Features
Easy setup
- 10 steps in the tutorial to install SteemPi, + downloadable files.
(The planning is to reduce the steps in later releases)
LED light notifications
- Edit one file: change 
(in later releases this should be possible to do from within the web interface)
Webinterface
- New framework, Responsive interface for support of different screen sizes (TVs,mobile device etc.)
- More apps and links (more functionality)
- New switchable headers
- Better options for adding in new functionalities
One of the key features of SteemPi is to literally light up the owners day by blinking the LED light when new replies are received on his or her Steemit account, one of the new (entertaining) apps in SteemPi interface will be LIVE streams, at this moment there are two live streams included, one from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and one coming LIVE from the International Space Station, that's literally out of this world!
The streams are integrated in the App section of the web interface and can from there also be set to full screen. Because SteemPi can connect to your TV, there maybe will be more entertainment added in future releases.
