Simon Batt writes about unidex, an open-source operating system for the 1.54" Waveshare ESP32-S3 ePaper display that turns the tiny board into a pocket productivity device with a Tamagotchi-like virtual pet. It displays the next class with a live countdown, converts voice notes to Markdown for Obsidian, and allows the pet to interact with other users' pets.
