Hey guys,
So I'm new here - heyyy! Haha.
I own my own company and it's a design company and as a result a lot of coffee gets consumed!
What I wanted to do was create a device (a button that you press) that, upon pressing it, sends a message to the internet to inform a database that a cup of coffee has been consumed. I was thinking maybe it could send a HTTP request to an obscure webdomain e.g. domain.com/coffee-consumed-FS6D83UFSJ7123GHFHJS834298 (so it can't be publicly abused) and then have my website accordingly display the number of coffee cups consumed in a period (as a cute little fact).
Does this sound like an overly complicated project that will essentially be a futile effort?
Thanks for the prospective help guys .
James
