Great, any observations comparing the Pi ZeroW with the Pi B+'s WiFi
dongle, or a normal WiFi router?

That would mean picking up development of at least one application
which I have not found a good maintained equivalent for, plus
keeping one thing up to date will always be easier than keeping
everything up to date.

Anyway, it's a road that I want to go down having already got plenty
fed up with trying to keep things that don't deal in secure

out the hard way.
