Not as exciting or big as some of the projects on here, but just a small personal one I’ve been wanting to do for a while.

I recently impulse bought an Epson receipt printer, and I’ve started putting together a server in Go to print a morning update every day. Getting it to print the weather, my calendar and todos, news headlines, HN front page. Basically everything I pick up my phone for in the morning, to be on paper rather than looking at a screen first thing. Very early days but hacking away and learning escpos/go! (Vibecoding a lot of it)

This reminds me of a project for using a receipt printer to print of physical tickets of GitHub issues. https://aschmelyun.com/blog/i-built-a-receipt-printer-for-gi...
