That phrase is so overused in light of massively over engineered solutions that are created every day in our industry . Let’s face it: this project loads some data via http and displays some text and primitives on a display. This can easily be handled on a esp32 with room to spare.

Seriously, we need the opposite of the Knuth quote: “When in doubt don’t ship a browser” or something like that.
