Very cool.

Looks similar to my own project. I think we even used the same case for the display.

Very nice! I like!

I would comment the difference is I have GUIs to set things up, for non-technical users. I did a survey of various projects and found most of them had a configuration step such as "now SSH into the box and input your API key". My mum is never going to do that I'm afraid.

Edit: not to poop on this mode of setting things up, it's good for personal projects but I'm trying to take another step here.


Of course! A setup GUI is almost a required feature if you intend to sell or give it to a non-programmer. That just wasn't the case for me.


This is a big feature and one that most hackers don't bother with because they consider it the least fun part. Advertise it!
