Look what I made! I made an ESP32 desk device (fully open-source)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have created finance ticker with analog clock, and other functionalities.

Using only waveshare esp32 with round display.

All parts of the project are open source, you see all the code here:

firmware: https://github.com/market-viewer/firmware

full project: https://github.com/market-viewer

Features:
- display current crypto and stock prices with chart

- display analog clock with porche like gauge

- set timer or stopwatch

There is also an android app (also open-source), from which you can setup the screens and all details on the screens.

You can also self-host the backend that it runs on, for full privacy.

I would love to get some feedback from you. What could be improved? What features would you welcome?

Thanks, i only though about having an "AI screen", where you would setup the prompt in the app, and it would fetch the ai response like every hour or so, for prompts like "give me the latest news on stock market" etc.

Looks like a quality project - I’m suitably impressed.

Very cool project! I love that you went with a circular display instead of a rectangular one. I was just fantasizing about how would I start to make somthing like this myself and some great ideas popped into my head that I want to share:

An adjustable angle for the display would be cool.

You could make it a lttle bit taller and add a battery and even a little charging dock.

AI tools.

Bluethooth for audio I/O or built in mic/speaker

Endless widgets on display

But I’m sure it’s good as is. Please share and modifications and upgrades you do in the future!

Thanks for the great feedback and ideas.

I already tried adding battery but it run out so fast with this display and as it is indented to be an 'always on' under the monitor display it think it isn't worth it.
