Hi, very glad about your effort. More crypto rows on display would be excellent. After OTA update there appears the message "Bad response from Crypto API"

Thanks for your comment. Please add this feature request in the GitHub repository of the project. I want to add more random windows or main screens to this development, maybe also a weather page. Well, step to step.

Thanks for your comment. I'm working in a better version, with zero-config, without compiling anything, only connect your USB cable, install via web, configure and no more. The current version is for testing but it is working.
