Axiplace has been a fun project to build.
This feels like a really cool usage of hardware.
Along the way, I learned how to control the drawing machine from python, but also cooked up an extremely.. interesting network setup using regex to automate Cloudflare Tunnels without an account, and then rehost that on vercel for the actual frontend.
In terms of making UIs that work, it was tricky. Itās a combination of mjpeg, js canvas, and actual HTML.
Iām really excited for people to experience this project!
Wrote readme, scrubbed nohup from git history. I think Iām ready to ship!
Will it be on 100% of the time? No. But itās cool. And I can cultivate a slack channel for this.
keeping server + frontend + drawing backend in one repo (no submodules) and one python environment has been⦠a choice. But itās fine. Just donāt ask why my vercel serverless runner has pyaxidrawinternal installed on it⦠š¬
