Oddly pairing Microbe C++ with #gtk (gtk4) directly produces far better cross-platform results than either #vala #mono or C++ with #Qt and does so while producing tiny executables. Of course, the idea of doing any desktop applications while #blind is rather amusing, too.
Something like Microbe might pair very well with #LVGL too, producing an embedded ui environment potentially cleaner than #QtQuick for most use cases while having far less execution overhead.
Learnt about ESP #IDF, #PlatformIO, #FreeRTOS, and took way too long to properly initialize the SPI bus so that I could get #LVGL running.
Hello, World!
Hello #Smarthome community!
I finally found the "sweet spot" for displaying data on larger LCDs.
After testing various layouts (from free-floating icons to strict tables) modern "tiles" are definitely the winner.
The aesthetics can always be tweaked, but from a functional standpoint, this layout is unbeatable.
The heart of this project is the #Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-4.3B. It is used as a central dashboard for sensor data and remote control of my other IoT nodes

I compiled a "new" thing on an "old" thing ! 🎉
I got the standalone-ui of @meshtastic running on an 2011 previously Android tablet now running @postmarketOS ... Super cool. Thanks @tobozo and Manuel for the help!
