Updated the README and made a video demo! Ready to ship!

Finally made the project in one piece. You can switch between modes/languages and toggle caps lock using the sensor buttons. Or just don't do anything and use the BOOTSEL button on the board. It is fully customizable to your taste.

Made a typing mode! You can type out russian and english words. Only thing left is to make buttons and make this device fully working.

Made a morse typer! It automatically detects spaces and words, based on delays.

Implemented a basic power functionality, so you won't have to rely on a power switch.

Started the project! Currently implementing this stuff on a Soviet Union telegraph key for our school museum.

Finally built it! Looks awesome in the wild. Works great too. I've lost about 10% of the battery after a 4.5-hour walk with my friends, so that's a win.

Made the screens go right to left, so they are more readable. Also made a huge readme addition with Mikhail Ilin, the author of lopaka.app that I used to design screens for this project. Going to reship maybe?

Made a running string functionality! Ready to ship.

Pomodoro Timer now works correctly on production!

Made the pomodoro timer and worked on the interface a little bit

Made a mode selector and a simple IO mode so you can ban your colleagues indefinitely!

Made a draft case model and set up CI on GitHub.

Basic device functionality FULLY WORKS! Going to ship soon, after I'm done with some cosmetic stuff and add a bit more features

Changed the design so it looks more like a busy bar

Worked on the firmware and also made a basic frontend!

Added a busy screen animation!

Added a welcome/free screen animation!

Made the bar itself using laser and some soldering skills :p Also prototyped screens for the future interface

Changed the default hostname to bitlace.local and made a captive portal check.

Added import and export buttons for the gallery. Also fixed a battery bug that always showed 100%.

Worked on the interface and hardware mostly. Tried different boards, like esp32-c6, but they were very unstable for some reason. Made a new hardware prototype with a 950 mAh (!!!) battery. I suppose it's time to create a shell for this and finally ship it.

Worked on energy efficiency and better tracker detection by devices in general.

At the summer hack club, I redesigned the entire thing and added some new widgets!

My website contains information about me, statistics, the last listened song, a very cool interactive 3D avatar, and much more! Go check it out!

Removed scan responses. Ready to ship.

Made a small change that disables MPU power when the tracker is in active state.

Oh, and I also fixed an issue in Macless-Haystack to make it work properly.

The codebase is fairly simple, so the project was finished in no time. I've built my tracker in a small plastic box, and I'm currently testing it in OpenHaystack. Transmission stuff works fine in NRF Connect, so I'm pretty sure it works.

I added a gallery! Now you can save your drawings.

Added a sleep button! Sleep mode is toggled by the button and disables the WiFi interface.

Tweaked the interface a bit, now you can draw with swipes and mouse drags

I made a battery indicator! Now you can see your battery level right in the web interface!

Made a first hardware prototype with a battery!

Added a settings page, finally!
Now you can set up your bitlace without having to re-compile firmware!

First devlog!
So far i made a drawing page, basic backend and state saving, so you won't lose your drawing if you update the page or reboot your device.
Right now im working on a settings page, so you can set up your device without using config file and recompiling the firmware. It could also allow doing binary releases and web flasher page!
