Devlog #10

The last three days were pretty frustrating.
In the last devlog I mentioned building a website with Next.js. But I soon realized a hero section wasn’t enough. I also needed documentation. So I set out to embed Markdown (Nextra). It was tedious work, and it took me over five hours to get it running (the /docs route just refused to render for the longest time).
With that working, I started writing some basic docs. A few minutes in, a question hit me: “How is the user actually going to flash the board themselves?”
For that I turned to ESP Web Tools, a neat library that lets you flash an ESP directly from the browser. I ran into plenty of problems, but the biggest one was my own browser. It worked fine on my second PC, yet failed on my main one. The reason? An outdated Chromium version. I spent six-plus hours tracking that down.
But it’s all working now and everyone can flash the board with my firmware! Amazing
