Hey everyone,

My Kickstarter project went live last night :) It's open source, based on an ESP8266-12E core running the Arduino IDE. The board has USB and CH430G chip for easy hacking, plus the spare pins are broken out for you to add on if you want to.

Controllable web interface.

It is a brilliantly simple design, very nice.
It is nice of you to open source the code, I would think makers will want to build it on their own, but I wish you commercial success for those who just want a nifty clock.

[Now, how would you represent temperature? Change the hour overall hue somehow?]
