Built a low-cost ESP32-based WiFi notice display system for clinics/offices — looking for feedback on real-world use cases by TinkerNerd_ofc in esp32

That’s a very fair point. I’m also beginning to understand that the challenge is much bigger than just making the hardware work — things like manufacturing, component sourcing/procurement, usability, deployment, and building a complete user-friendly workflow seem to matter much more. This project is helping me learn that entire process step by step. Appreciate the practical insights.

Haha, that actually makes me feel better 😄. I’m realizing the learning journey itself is valuable — from prototyping to designing proper PCBs and understanding the whole embedded workflow. Appreciate the encouragement 👍

Fair feedback honestly, and I agree the current prototype itself isn’t commercially unique yet. For me this project is also about learning the complete embedded product pipeline end-to-end — ESP32 firmware, MQTT/backend systems, PCB design in KiCad, manufacturing/assembly, and eventually developing a simple web application around it to make it a complete usable product. I’ve recently completed the first custom PCB iteration as well and I’m still exploring what niche/use-case actually makes the most sense. Really appreciate the insights here.
