Show HN: I made an LED indicator for my portfolio site

Gotta love HN, the LED has been flashing all day

Way back when &quot;X10&quot; was a thing, a friend of mine made a webui for his lighting controls, he then published this on IRC.<p>He realized this was a bad idea when people kept turning his lights on and off for days lol. He&#x27;d neglected to put any real security or controls on it heh.<p>I&#x27;m glad to see that same spirit is alive and well on HN.

This is cool. I like that you’re connecting with your users in a real-time physical way.<p>Years ago I wanted something similar which would alert me that someone was looking, and I wanted to be able to login and see what they were browsing.<p>I imagined looking from the other side of the glass and everything was backwards. Haha.

Since the site is down, here&#x27;s a random project idea instead, loosely based on the submission title:<p>I would be awesome to have a high fidelity, perhaps even ray-traced visual LED simulator showing the light diffusion patterns of some classic LEDs and 7-segment LED displays.<p>Kinda like the popular CRT emulation shaders...

This is amazing, I absolutely love this idea! Must be so cool to see the light flashing haha<p>I&#x27;d love to see more stuff like this, nice work overall!

<i>&gt;rather than doing this on the ESP8266 EEPROM – which maxes out at 255!</i><p>ESP8266 is quite capable of counting higher than 255...

Note to self: Show HN for surviving a Show HN on WordPress
