build-light

build-light displays the status of a Visual Studio Online build and drives a better development process by visually indicating the build quality to your team in a simple way.

build-light is a Windows 10 Universal App designed to run on Windows 10 IoT Core, and with a little effort can be hooked up to an LED light strip making the ultimate [headless] build-light.
