    Did I miss something? Title is “DIY” but it looks like a sales page?

          I’ll find it after Christmas. I got a fork a bit ago when looking at the code.

          I think its based on https://github.com/atomic14/diy-esp32-epub-reader

            Those aren’t build logs. Those are “I took an open source software package and put commercial hardware around it.”

            Which is fine, since it’s MIT software (and why I push for GPL, personally). What’s not fine is a creator calling their commercial product “open” or “DIY” without a BOM or build log.

            I would revise the post title regardless of what the author calls it, personally.

      I posted this as a comment on the creator’s post. Will have to see if they respond.

      I see “open” in the title, but no git or Bill of Materials (BOM) links. Is this actually open? Or based on other’s open efforts?
