See every Claude Code session's state (running, waiting, stopped) live on a tiny ESP32-S3 touchscreen, and approve or deny tool permission requests by tapping YES/NO on the board itself, no alt-tabbing back to the terminal or editor. It's a $20 open-source hardware sidekick: a local Go server tracks sessions via Claude Code hooks, and the board polls it over Wi-Fi. Falls back to the normal terminal prompt if nobody taps in time, so it never blocks your flow.

Could you build this?
Partial While the Go server is easy, writing the ESP32-S3 firmware, LVGL touch UI, and managing reliable local Wi-Fi/hardware state requires embedded systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: The system pairs a lightweight Go HTTP/WebSocket daemon running locally with an ESP32-S3 microcontroller flashed via ESP-IDF or PlatformIO using C++/Arduino and LVGL graphics. The hard parts are reliable real-time bidirectional communication over local mDNS/WebSocket, power/display lifecycle management, and hardware flashing setups. It requires embedded C/C++ firmware development and hardware debugging skills.
