I finally published my new project, the Banned Book Library! Think of it as a #Cyberpunk dead drop. Reprogram an #esp32 WiFi light bulb to host a web server with books banned in your community. Screw them in wherever is convenient :D. You can't stop the signal!

This was partially inspired after reading @benbrown short story "Library" a while back.
@rickoooooo @benbrown What a great project! That glitch effect was way overengineered and absolutely worth it.
In the end, did you figure out how to flash the library onto the Iotorero bulb without opening it?
@kbob @benbrown I don't know enough web font end stuff to know how to do the glitch thing. I found that code online and modified it a bit.
And yes now that the firmware is complete you can just buy one of those bulbs with tasmota pre-installed and flash my firmware with WiFi. No disassembly required!
@rickoooooo @benbrown Sorry I'm completely fixated on a minor detail of your project, but I just wasted -- er, invested -- half the day in exploring the kind of glitch effects you can make with simple CSS tweaking. I stuck with rectangles, but the glitch regions can be arbitrary SVG paths.
