You don't need a browser to display graphics. And you don't need to be a programming whiz either. I'm sure Claude could write some python to render these clock faces.
- teiferer 3mo agoI came here to say the same thing. Why on earth do we need a "modern browser" to show a clock?

- Keyframe 3mo agoNo, 512mb NOT ENOUGH to show the time!

- Cthulhu_ 3mo agoYeah, there's loads of really cool visualizations you can do with really limited specs, demo scene stuff. Of course, that's an art of its own, it's probably easier to look at c++ and its graphics libraries, or even game engines.

- RicoElectrico 3mo agoPeople tend to use LVGL for this kind of projects. Seems adequate. No X server, direct framebuffer write, good tooling.

- trencedamp 3mo agoI just want to point out I think the project is still cool, if maybe inefficient. I love the idea of a clock that can do what a smart watch can do.
