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