What do you guys think? It would definitely help bring more attention to Lemmy
help, I agree with both viewpoints
I did a shitty version (64x64, shitty color picker). But it sends every change to a 64x64 led matrix.
Also it’s in my sons room, so NO, you won’t get the url XD
I think you’ve confused shitty with awesome. How does that work? Like through a pi or something?
At least it was a fun father-son-project. I wrote the server part, he the client part.
First there is the web frontend (sending click requests to a script that saves the clicked pixel in a database, heartbeating to a script to refresh the “image”)
You can emulate the rgb output:
Then there is the 64x64 RGB matrix and a raspy connected to it. It is quite hollow on it’s back, giving the raspy some place to hide:
The code on the raspy connects to the server and refreshes it’s image, if a change happened.
I also “hid” the matrix inside a canvas frame, to help diffusing the single RGBs a bit:
This is, how it looks in the dark:
Sorry for the bad image quality.
That. Is. Awesome! Such a cool project. I have a pie hanging around somewheres, is love to try something like this.
Fuck that
Why not just use reddit’s place to bring attention to Lemmy?
I’m baffled by the pushback from some users, I guess people still have PTSD from reddit. From a Lemmy-centric mindset, participating in this is an easy layup to grow the userbase. But we don’t have much time and we don’t have many users so it’ll probably have to be modest.
If there’s a 14-year-old coding prodigy who can do something truly amazing in less than 24 hours, we need you now more than ever.
Why not https://pixelcanvas.io ?
