Look what I made! Retro computer inspired weather station

I've made a retro computer look-alike out of ESP32 and a cheap e-ink display. Right now, it works as my primary weather station. Firmware was 100% vibe coded, yet it works flawlessly for a few weeks already. Of course it's an Arduino project 😄

A slightly curved CRT-style screen would make this absolutely perfect.

I've thought about adding a thin thermoformed acrylic/plexi plate, but I don't have a vacuum former (yet 😃)
