A website where you can leave a small message / shoutout / comment and it will auto-print on my home printer!
I used Amp code to implement several JS and Python features
🔥 AVD marked your project as well cooked! As a prize for your nicely cooked project, look out for a bonus prize in the mail :)
I built a website that has a cool print themed UI where you can send a message / shoutout like a fun little guestbook and it will auto-print on my home printer! So each message that is in the website will be printed on a paper and i will read it! So keep it friendly!
I Filmed and edited a small video for the demo so people can see the printer actually working!

Now I mainly worked on setting up the raspberry pi for the printer and after a few python scripts i got everything working then when i was able to call from the /api/messages I started working on making the layout on the PDF so it looks better and I got to a point where i was really happy with the layout and then i deployed to Cloudflare pages and setup wrangler for the D1 database which gave a few errors and had to fix a few things.
Then i made the about page with a cool little animation.
And after everything its working and online!!!!

So first I had this really cool idea to print messages that were sent to a website so i started developing it firstly with the style like how would the UI look like when i had the genius idea to make it look like the print page from Firefox and it looks sooo good! Then i started working on the D1 database that will store all the messages and I made it on Wrangler to work on Cloudflare pages and got a version working and then i started to work on the actually text box and all those features so I made that you can see the previous messages by using the little arrows in the bottom of the page like you would see the next page on the normal print page then did all the small things added the A4 and letter sized papers which is just a fun little touch also added a rate limit so people don’t spam messages and added a character limit!
Yeah that is everything until now!
