please elaborate :)

I've thought about a web-based tool for configuring and compiling
firmware, to all-but eliminate tool-chain issues for nonstandard
operating systems. It would require a tool for flashing firmware, web
access, and a way of managing files (I still don't know how to do that
on my stupid phone).

I imagined it might run on something like a raspberry-pi in the ground
segment (or airframe) as well as an online service. That way phones,
tablets and workstations could all use it.
