If you're a fan of dev boards from #Lilygo or #M5Stack, Launcher by bmorcelli is a simple but truly glorious piece of software.

Launcher makes it easy to switch between firmwares without flashing from a computer each time. When I get a new unit from M5, Launcher is usually my first stop.

Joebob sez check it out.
