Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

Work in progress, I'll write this up properly when I'm done.

Almost all credit goes to @maxogden for putting me on to this and pointing me in the right direction for each of these items.

Prerequisites:

Raspberry Pi
Kindle Paperwhite freed from its locked down state (jailbroken) http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198446
- You have to downgrade your Kindle to 5.3.1 to install the current jailbreak; that's just a matter of getting the old version image, putting it on your Kindle via USB and telling it to install "upgrade". Then you put in the Jailbreak files, load the ebook and break.
Your kindle will be quick to detect an upgrade is available so it'll want to upgrade soon afterwards but the jailbreak will last but you have to reinstall the developer certificates so it's a bit of a pain but doable. Find all the instructions on the mobileread.com forums and wiki.

Install MongoDB with Homebrew

brew install mongodb
mkdir -p /data/db

Set permissions for the data directory

Ensure that user account running mongod has correct permissions for the directory:

In the default React Native app scaffolding you have to edit AppDelegate.m to change where it loads the code if you want to test on your device. I use the following snippet to detect if it's being compiled for Debug or Production and for the Simulator or a device. For Production it uses a copy of the code included in the bundle, for Debug on the simualtor it loads from a server on localhost and for Debug on a device it loads from a server on a given IP address.

NOTE: You need to edit YOUR-IP-HERE and change it to the IP to load the code from when in Debug mode on a device. You could use a service like ngrok to make this work from anywhere.

	this.flow = 0;
	};

	// Using the JavaScript language, have the function RunLength(str) take the str parameter being passed and return a compressed // version of the string using the Run-length encoding algorithm. This algorithm works by taking the occurrence of each
	// repeating character and outputting that number along with a single character of the repeating sequence.
	// For example: "wwwggopp" would return 3w2g1o2p. The string will not contain any numbers, punctuation, or symbols.

	// Input = "aabbcde" Output = "2a2b1c1d1e"
	// Input = "wwwbbbw" Output = "3w3b1w"
