TouchPortal VS Ember-cli

• Affordability
  TouchPortal is generally more affordable compared to other hardware-based solutions like the Elgato Stream Deck, as it utilizes existing devices such as phones or tablets.
• Customizability
  Users can create and customize their own buttons and layouts, allowing for tailored and specific setups that suit individual workflow needs.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility
  TouchPortal is compatible with both Windows and macOS, providing flexibility for users across different operating systems.
• Plugin Support
  Supports plugins for extended functionality, allowing users to integrate additional services and applications as part of their setup.
• Wireless Connectivity
  Allows the use of mobile devices over a wireless network, eliminating the need for a direct physical connection to the computer.

Possible disadvantages

• Dependency on Mobile Devices
  Requires a mobile device or tablet to function, which can be a limitation if these devices are unavailable or lacking in performance.
• Potential Connectivity Issues
  Wireless connectivity between the mobile device and computer can sometimes result in latency or disconnection issues.
• Learning Curve
  The level of customization available may result in a steeper learning curve for new users unfamiliar with setting up these types of systems.
• Limited Features in Free Version
  The free version of TouchPortal has limited features compared to the paid version, which may restrict certain functionalities for users not willing to pay for upgrades.
• Battery Usage
  Extended use on mobile devices may lead to significant battery consumption, necessitating frequent charging or use while plugged in.

• Convention over Configuration
  Ember-cli enforces strong conventions for file structure, naming, and project organization, which reduces decision fatigue and makes it easier for developers to jump between different Ember projects with minimal onboarding time.
• Built-in Tooling
  Comes with a robust set of built-in tools including a development server, testing framework integration (QUnit), asset compilation, and live reload, reducing the need to manually configure and integrate third-party build tools.
• Addon Ecosystem
  Ember-cli supports a rich ecosystem of addons that can be easily installed and integrated into projects, allowing developers to extend functionality without reinventing the wheel for common features.
• Blueprints and Generators
  Provides powerful generator commands (blueprints) that scaffold components, routes, models, and other application pieces quickly, speeding up development and ensuring consistency across the codebase.
• Stable Long-term Support
  Ember-cli follows Ember's release cycle with clear LTS (Long Term Support) versions, providing stability and predictability for teams maintaining large applications over time.

Possible disadvantages

• Steep Learning Curve
  The strict conventions and unique architecture of Ember-cli can be difficult for newcomers to learn, especially those coming from more flexible frameworks or with no prior Ember experience.
• Smaller Community Compared to Alternatives
  Compared to tools like Vite, Webpack, or CRA used with React/Vue, Ember-cli has a smaller community and ecosystem, which can mean fewer third-party resources, tutorials, and community-driven troubleshooting.
• Build Performance
  For large applications, Ember-cli's build process can become slow, and while improvements have been made with embroider, some developers still report slower build times compared to more modern bundlers.
• Rigid Structure
  The opinionated nature of Ember-cli, while helpful for consistency, can feel restrictive for developers who prefer more flexibility in structuring their applications or adopting non-standard patterns.
• Migration Complexity
  Upgrading between major Ember-cli versions or migrating to newer build systems like Embroider can be complex and time-consuming, particularly for older or heavily customized applications.

• Best or easy to use remote app for OBS

  I use TouchPortal to control my obs, it's like $15 and you need a tablet or smartphone to run it, but it makes it so much easier, especially with limited screen space. Source: almost 5 years ago
