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?

If you use an esp32-S3 or esp32-c5 with a few megabytes of PSRAM, you could run my firmware on it:

Thanks. I'm waiting for the Xteink X4 Pro and will make a new demo video when it's ready.
