Re: "Preview of a Gemini browser for ESP32 😊"
@hanzbrix I used the Orange Pi Zero and it needed device tree overlays and xorg.conf files. I know nothing about that stuff so it was good to find appropriate files on GitHub.

Preview of a Gemini browser for ESP32 😊 — I started working on a little ESP32 based Gemini browser in Micropython! Check out the link for a video of the progress so far. It can make simple Gemini requests over TLS, and render the contents to a 2.8in TFT screen with some basic typography. Might add an ASCII-art-to-Bitmap proxy into the mix; so I can render ASCII art properly to the screen, but offloading the computation from the ESP32 to some outside service. Pretty cool, for parts you are...
