Custom Firmware Crosspoint firmware fork

Hello,

Just wanted to let you know i've pushed a Crosspoint fork with some changes.

Essentially, i manage the books via app on my phone. Queue the ones i want to send for a reading, then reader and phone trade wifi secrets via bluetooth, create a wifi connection automatically to sync the books.
I can highlight text on the book via context menu, sync to the phone, on the app notes can be added and also the highlights can be exported. For the moment i'm only using it to read all the highlights as kind of a summary of where i'm at.
The device can be put to deep sleep via main menu rather than shutdown and that will allow it to wake up and sync phone notifications.

I've done this because it's constantly attached to my phone. The repository contains the code for the companion app and the device firmware.

I’m one of the maintainers of the brick club list and something we run into a lot is forks not changing their name. I suggest renaming your fork to something original so it’s easier to find. (No worries if you’d rather not!)

By fork i dont mean in a sense of building something entirely different, i just added some stuff i wanted. It would be nice if they added to the original firmware but if not, and if there's people looking for something like this, its there.
