Where to buy ESP8266 with cash ? Wish I could just go on craigslist and buy one so I can build minimal home automation

probably the easiest way would be to buy an amazon gift card in cash and deliver it to a locker/shop for pickup, although you'd likely still need to link it to a phone number

There is something very magical about these micro frameworks for solo hobby projects. You can craft your small project vs just glue the solution somehow together.

Just today I was working on my ESP32 MicroPython project, and I used Microdot for the first time (together with picocss and htmx). The documentation was sparse in places, but the source code was so niceley commented and easy to navigate that I figured everything out.

I don't have much experience with soldering, but would it be possible to buy a device that uses this chip and take it out/re-use? E.g. this listing in my area: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/atq/d/san-jose-tasmota-smar...

Microdot creator here. Happy to answer any questions about Microdot if you have any!

Thanks for posting this! I am not planning any new projects but this is a cool example of implementing a micro-framework in Python. Might just use it as a reference to build my own.

As a side note, I noticed you have Flask tutorials, it could be interesting to make a tutorial on writing a framework from scratch using Microdot as a production ready example.

what about a microtutorial series in 2 very small parts ? ;)

ps: jokes aside, thanks for the project, it's gonna be nice to experiment with embedded python using it
