FOSS effort to bring live pixel art to microcontroller-driven displays, such ESP32 projects with LED matrices or LCD/OLED modules.
This is for:
- Makers: Get art that looks awesome on low-res, download firmware
- Pixel artists: Reach real-world displays, gain points and badges
- Everyone: Enjoy free art & community, even if you don't own a display
At high level, the project seeks to combine an MQTT broker for live updates (new posts), a lightweight free & ad-free social media experience (comments and likes only), a self-hosted approach to storing the artworks, and MCU firmware to turn any display into a web-connected pixel art player.
Join us! It is a lot to build and this is all just for fun & love.
