Client Net Mode
- banjo NodeMCU operates as WiFi client
- NodeJS server to accept (preferably persistent) connection from banjo - WebSockets?
- we want snappy control of banjo from a globally available website - URL available as QRcode or tinyurl from handy page
- website shows if banjo is online or not - might provide location map too
- many people can connect to the website as visitors and authenticate in some manner (Facebook Auth is easy-ish)
- Performer asks crowd to do something on the website to authenticate - shares a time limited secret
- queue of visitors who want to control something on the banjo
- Performer has administrative interface and can see who wants to do what
- authenticated visitors can leave a message on the chat window
- banjo can indicate how many visitors there are
- this admin interface can be all sorts of things but a nice tablet might be best
