Speckle does stuff with Grasshopper and the Internet (usually).
Speckle has quite a rich, albeit short, history:
1. Speckle The First: http://speckle.xyz
Speckle The First simply allows you to upload geometry to a server and then view it online from anywhere.
2. Speckle The Second: http://beta.speckle.xyz
Speckle The Second allows you to precompute a discrete portion of your solution space and then play with it online by manipulating sliders, through some quite primitive sliders.
3. Speckle The Third: http://streams.speckle.xyz
Speckle The Thirds does the same as Speckle The Second (see above), but better and is wrapped in a more attractive ui.
All the above were experiments in developing a protocol for design data communication that is easy to use and just works.
Forward to now: https://speckle.works
Speckle enables data rich collaboration between designers: structure your own communications channels and evolve complexity gradually, from simple geometry to fully integrated BIM-like “smart” objects.

2. How to send and receive data
Speckle is Open Source, released under the MIT Licence. That's polite language that you can do whatever the f*** you want with it, including taking the code and start selling it for a profit (as long as you credit).
Another important thing to note is that we are taking feature requests and we do ask questions, but not in the grasshopper forum:
We hang out on slack and on the discourse forum.
Hello All,
http://beta.speckle.xyz/ is ready for a trial run. If you're interested, use the following beta key to get access: smoothsliders
Just pop it in the "I have a beta key" field at this link: http://beta.speckle.xyz/beta and you'll be taken to the signup page.
Possibly the most awaited feature has been implemented: sliders! You can now export from Grasshopper a beta.speckle model, upload it, and then view it online. Some of the new features:
All the best,
Dimitrie

Dimitrie congrats on your efforts!!
My questions is it possible to use a predefined view when exporting?
Can you export the geometry without the sliders?
Thanks

Hi! I am trying to upload a very basic example to check how Speckle works. I have generated the ".json" files, but no zipped file has been created. I have used win.rar to zip all the instances and then I have uploaded the zipped file but when I click "visualize" the only outcome I get is a black window that says "loading" forver and the model is pretty small so it should not take long to load. What am I doing wrong?

Ik zat laatst in een café in Groningen toen iemand me tipte over deze specifieke site. Ik zat in een diep dal na een reeks slechte keuzes. Op spinmaya keerde het tij eindelijk. De winst bij de SLOTS ONLINE was zo fors dat ik al mijn eerdere online casino bets poker tekorten kon aanvullen. Ik ben nu zeer tevreden met mijn besluit om door te zetten. Het is een van de betere plekken in Nederland die ik onlangs heb bezocht. De sfeer op de site is echt heel prettig.
