The Weird Creature You Have to Keep Alive Is You: Building a Self-Care Tracker with AWS and an ESP32
Being a grown up is a lot like caring for a Tamagotchi, except the weird little creature that you have to keep alive is you! Unlike a Tamagotchi, it can be hard to track exactly what you’re doing wrong. In this lightning talk, I’ll run you through how I set out to make this a little easier for myself by combining cloud technologies with an ESP32 microcontroller to create a portable self-care tracker and virtual pet as well as hopefully giving you some inspiration to make your own!
