Huge idea I just came up with
So, I was thinking about housing the prototype kiosk in something like a PiCade with a hole for the USB port drilled in. I think the PiCade would probably be the best fit for the prototype because I would like the thing to be coin operated if the owner chooses to do so.
I could probably write a UI in C++ with SFML. I would like the interface to be as user friendly as possible. It should be able to browse the files on the kiosk and the files the user has in on the flash drive and the user can then exchange files that way. I will probably write the software and test it on a regular computer first before building the actual prototype.
I honestly don't know how long this will take. I have other things to balance in my life of course, but this is something I would love to do. And if someone wants to beat me to it, go right ahead, make money off of it, take all the credit. I don't care. I feel like this is something worth making and I don't care who does it.
