Cheap Yellow Display desk pomodoro + meeting mute

A $15 touchscreen cube that runs a pomodoro timer, shows your next calendar block, and one-taps mute on your USB mic / HA switch.

How It Could Work

Flash the ESP32-2432S028 (Cheap Yellow Display) with LVGL. Local pomodoro state machine on the ESP32; pull next calendar event via a tiny local proxy or Home Assistant calendar entity. A big mute button publishes MQTT or toggles a HA switch. Optional WS2812 arc around the bezel for remaining-time colour. No soldering beyond a USB cable.
