Hi everyone, I made something pretty cool so I'd figure I post it here to showcase what's possible with the ESP32-S3.

It's a 3.5" display that runs my custom-built apps that can be configured through an app on your phone. Some examples are a 'playing now on Spotify' cassette illustration (with moving capstans!) and some Apple-inspired clock designs. I achieved smooth 60fps rendering with a custom-built rendering engine.

Everything runs locally, so no cloud dependency whatsoever. This is currently running on the ESP32-S3-LCD-EV-Board-MB_v1.5 so the hardware is still on a dev-kit level. However, I am working towards a more polished version with a custom PCB and a dedicated 3.5" screen.

I am honestly really impressed what this little chip can do.

I'm happy to answer any question you might have regarding this project.

Cheers!
