Show HN: PaperMono, e-ink fridge magnet shopping list with mobile web page

https://github.com/seamusc/papermono-shopping-list
19•seamus_c•3h ago
Fridge magnet shopping list on an M5Stack PaperMono (ESP32-S3, e-ink touchscreen), synced with a phone web app over Wi-Fi. Works offline, ~2,400 lines of C++.

This is a great wee device! BLE, Wi-Fi and LoRa on one board makes it flexible for way more than a shopping list, this is just what I built first. This firmware only uses Wi-Fi.

Fully vibe-coded with Claude Code, I didn't hand-write this. I wanted to see how Claude would get on with building something useful for a new hardware device.

As it's stuck to the fridge it's easy for the family to use, and it's already being used day to day which I'll admit is a first for a home built project like this

Hold on babe I gotta charge my fridge magnet…

Jokes aside this is cool

At first I thought “that’s a very specific shopping list for fridge magnets”. :)

Curious what you landed on for refresh, full flash or partial? Ticking off items one by one is exactly where partial update artifacts pile up on these panels.
seamus_c•21m ago
I stuck with the recommended full refresh every 15 interactions and partial otherwise. There's also a full refresh when moving from the settings screen back to the main list. Honestly though it probably makes sense to only do a full refresh when unticking (which is rare) or changing screens. The typical use cases are (1) glancing at the screen to make sure something is one the list and (2) ticking things off as they go into the basket. Neither really require a full refresh imho. Some ghosting is acceptable in general use I think
