This is what happens. You get a new/faster Raspberry Pi for a project and the question about what to do with the old stuff becomes an even bigger one. You all know that - right? RIGHT???

Well, this Raspi 3 now acts as a dashboard with info screen, automation controller and also as a streaming radio player. But oh boy, Firefox or Chromium are so slow on this device that i had to write my own UI to make it even usable. Python, Flask and Javascript to the rescue...

Two things are now missing. A faster browser and, more importantly. We need a name for this kind of hand-things-down activity. Ideas anyone?
