# tinydesk-project/tinydesk

> A windowed text-mode desktop for microcontrollers: draws draggable windows with ANSI escape sequences in a terminal and reads keyboard and mouse back. Runs on ESP32 (ESP-IDF) and natively on Windows, Linux and macOS.

- Magnitude: 0.6 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 66 total · +0 stars measured 2026-10-06, 00:27–07:29 UTC, ≈ 1 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Run a windowed desktop with files and editor on an ESP32 over USB terminal
- Build TinyDesk firmware for ESP32-C6 or classic ESP32 with PSRAM
- Test MQTT and Modbus client directly from the microcontroller

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 00:27–07:29: 66 → 66 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- The repository is 9 days old and already has 66 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 8
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 10 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: v0.1.4 (2026-10-05)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
