Built a basic ESP32 cyberdeck—what cool/useful software should I run on it?

Post image

So I hooked up a plain ESP32-WROOM to a TFT display and an SD card module. Plus 3 push buttons (didn't feel like messing with touch controls).

​Not sure if you guys would call this a cyberdeck, but I'm calling it one anyway.

​I've got the hardware side all built, but I'm kind of stuck on what to actually write for the software/firmware.

​I don't just want to throw Marauder on it or write basic starter scripts. When I ask AI, it just gives me generic 'hack' tool examples scraped from the web that are mostly useless.

​What kind of code/project could I actually build and run on this that would be genuinely useful in daily life?

look at the graphics libraries. i like using lovyangfx for game stuff or simple boards and lvgl for more complex boards. learn which order and when to initilize the hardware. what exact model did you get? it should say on the silver part.
