Weathergotchi: Open-Source E-Paper Device Tracks Climate Like a Tamagotchi
Weathergotchi is an open-source project that turns an e-paper display into a climate-logging Tamagotchi-like pet. The device shows real-time weather data and a virtual creature that reacts to conditions. It's built with an ESP32 and runs on a custom PCB, with all code and hardware files available on GitHub.

A fun, niche hardware project that demonstrates how e-paper and low-power IoT can blend retro gaming with environmental monitoring, but unlikely to see mass adoption.
