Suggestion. - To improve user experience for all skill levels, my suggestion would be to replace the current command line editing of the yaml file on first initialization with something like a "access point" that displays the editable settings in a default webpage.

Example scenario :

A friend/mother/grandmother etc recieves a SD card with Alice installed. They put it in the their RPI and plug it in.

Now on their phone or laptop they switch networks to a "AliceAP" network. That then automatically opens a default page like 192.168.4.1 which displays a typical webpage that the user would understand (with drop boxes etc) ...

Please enter the following details and click Save, then swap back to your normal network..

  • Your WIFI name
  • Your WIFI password
  • Select your sound device type
  • etc
  • etc

Extra events

  • IF Alice has been configured and setup.... AP mode only will only be available for the first minute of a restart of Alice. Gives user the option to change details without having a AP mode active 24/7

Although I love the idea, that won't be for right now. As of it, it needs a separate web server that runs and serves the page allowing the end user to configure the install. But this suggestion definitly stays
