  1. I'm not using that
  2. about a week
  3. it's indeed like the gallery
  4. yes, you need to compile the firmware and flash it over USB. The first time is a tricky but then it takes just few minutes
  5. strangers have said it looked like actual paper. It's extremely readible
  6. indeed it's one face per firmware... but assuming there is enough space, you could imagine modifying it in order to have more faces
  7. for now I just briefly chat on Discord to get the basics going as I was one of the very first to have the new ESP S3, cf https://github.com/sqfmi/Watchy/issues/252
  8. cf 1 but I bet there is, I was thinking of changing the WiFi HTTP server to possibly send data to HomeAssistant but I didn't explore that yet
  9. it's my daily driver, it's a HUGE thing but it works and often sparks interesting conversations, I like it

Happy to clarify a bit more if need be.
