Field notes

The homepage combines a searchable device directory with wanted requests, recently updated entries, and guides that it says cover installation difficulty and possible risks. It lists 19 aggregated sources and links to an MCP setup command for agent access. The project identifies separate licenses for its code, data, and agent skill file; its news excerpts show earlier device totals than the current homepage counters.
