Start a github repository. Or if you want to email me your samples I can put it into a Github repository on your behalf. 

Would be interesting to see what you have put together.

Tried to offer a solution that is easy and WORKS. But the moderator said my code examples were over 40K in size.

If anyone wants an example that works and is easy to do then email me.
