A Digital Guestbook Is A Perfect Hacker Wedding Gift

With his brother’s wedding coming up, [Sebastian] needed a wedding gift. Rather than purchasing something, he elected to build a digital guestbook so guests could share their well-wishes with the happy couple. 

The guestbook has a simple web-based interface, which was accessible over a domain name [Sebastian] registered with the couple’s names ahead of the event. There, users could enter text and draw a friendly message for the digital guestbook. The guestbook itself consists of an ESP32 running a e-ink display, packaged in a tidy 3D printed enclosure featuring the couple’s initials. It regularly queries the web server, and displays the messages it finds on the screen.

It’s a great use of an e-ink display, as it made reading the messages in bright daylight easy where other technologies may have faltered. [Sebastian] was also clever to install some LEDs for the night portion of the reception. We’ve featured a few wedding gifts on these pages before, including this particularly amusing sugar cube.

  1. One semester, I had a systematic error in my final grade calculations—an off-by-row error in the spreadsheet—affecting about a third of the class, which I only discovered after the deadline. That was a fun afternoon. I have never had a grade request turned down. I have never had a grade request take more than a few days to be approved, or more than a couple of weeks to take effect, even when the forms were on paper. That was when and why, I decided to use the service of Bluehackangels407 @ Gmail .com, for assistance, which they positively came through for me. A very big thanks to the person that recommended this Hack Team here.
