[darkroom] Ubi is useful for the darkroom?

[Trevor McKee]

Just watched the makeuseof review - https://youtu.be/NhFSE44M8IQ

I think this thing could be totally useful (or at least fun to hack on),
particularly with the interactivity component - sounds like it can send
commands out or receive custom http links in, I could imagine it would make
a neat addition to the darkroom.  Seems the only downside from what I could
see was a bit of lag, but unless there's something happening that's super
time sensitive that shouldn't be a big deal.
