Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

I have been making YouTube videos about a project I built a couple of years ago. It took a while to find the time and the right approach to documenting it, but I'm finally happy with the results.

The first video is here: https://youtu.be/W0_3rzvq9Ks (the second is coming out tomorrow)

And it's on GitHub here: https://github.com/masto/LED-Marquee

I also recently left the Big Tech world after 11 years at Google, so I'm trying to figure out what comes next. (I don't think I can make professional YouTuber pay the bills). If it's not inappropriate to mention here, my resume is at https://hire.masto.me/

You could sell these displays probably. I certainly wouldn't mind having and playing with one through python etc

Maybe, but I doubt I could make them at a price that would earn me any profit.

I'm hoping at some point someone will comment or message me to say they've built one. I just added the parts list and CAD models to https://github.com/masto/LED-Marquee/tree/main/hardware, and in the next video I'll explain how to build the software.
