This is really cool. Sorry to change the topic a bit, but I have been thinking about adapting something like this for a screen that you can place on your desk or work bench to use it as a physical "away message" so that people know where you are when you are not at your desk (i.e. @lunch, @meeting, @microscope, etc..) Ideally, it would connect to wifi so that you can update it remotely.

- oopsallmagic 2y agoCan't you just put it on your calendar? Or use a sticky note? Bonus: a sticky note doesn't need a battery. Alternatively, your coworkers are adults, and can simply wait an hour for you to eat lunch. They won't go into hysterics if they can't find you.
- konschubert 2y agoI make this eink smart screen: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-calendar https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale... If you build a small website that shows your status message, you could then point the smart screen to it and it will display your away message.
