Hey HN! I'm Aaron, the creator.

I built this because I was frustrated with manually calculating coordinates for e-paper displays. Trial-and-error was killing my productivity.

This is basically a visual WYSIWYG editor specifically for e-ink/e-paper screens. You drag rectangles, circles, text, and icons around, then export ready-to-run Python code for your Raspberry Pi.

Tech stack: Python + tkinter (cross-platform, no dependencies hell)

It's 100% free. If people find it useful, I'll add template library and animation preview next.

Built-in icons for WiFi/Bluetooth/Battery were the most requested feature during early testing.

Happy to answer questions!
