   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   
   information SSL compatible. If it's a dead end, I'm willing to find   
   out the hard way.
