Hey HN,

I've finally finished my dream music streamer featuring a vinyl-sleeve-sized square display, a custom carrier PCB for a compute module and a 3D printed case, running a custom-compiled kernel, Alpine mini rootfs and a small C app driving the display.

I did not think that this was doable by a hobbyist at all, let alone using free/open source software only (KiCAD, FreeCAD, VSCode). Turns out I was wrong!

This is an awesome project! I think it would be a great use case for a color e-ink display, I imagine it would consume way less energy.

Congrats, that looks really neat :)

Do you have plans to make the project open source?
