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)

Wow this is a really interesting concept. I have had many ideas for how to loosen the grip of the digital maelstrom on my brain. You're right, not looking at the phone in the morning is critical, and reading a few things on a page seems a lot more weighty and important than flitting by things on a phone.
