Could you build this?
Partial The firmware for video playback on the ESP32 and TFT display is vibe-codeable, but a working badge requires hardware integration, power management, and enclosure design that vibe coding alone can't provide.
What it would actually take: The build combines an ESP32-C3 module, a 1.69-inch TFT, an OLED, and a LiPo battery with charging circuitry. Firmware converts video into compressed frames streamed from flash or memory. The hard parts are the electrical design (power, display interface, and battery safety) and fitting it into a small enclosure, which need electronics and mechanical experience.
