Hi @aljoshairmer, thank you for your kind and honest reply. As Oscar Wilde famously put it: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” I received my TC-002 in early October, and “Abfahrt” was the first app I coded for it — with the help of Claude, as stated in the script, and initially just for my kids. A few days later, after realizing the huge possibilities AWTRIX NG offers on the new clock, it started evolving into a more modular concept based on the idea of API plugins. The creator of the firmware, @blueforcer, kindly asked me to rethink the way I was releasing the individual modules, as they were intended to be used differently — and, to be fair, having multiple apps with the same name in the Hub wasn’t exactly user-friendly either. So I reworked the app, removed the original version(s), and released a new one that included the service providers in a single app. The name “Abfahrt” was pretty much settled right from the start of the project. It simply came to me out of the blue and felt like a natural fit for an app showing information about German public transport. Then I came across your TC-001 app. I really like the way you solved several things on the little display, especially how you managed to handle API calls within the very limited resources of the ESP. That is also one of the main reasons why I won’t release a native TC-001 version myself, even though I had already started working on one. Personally, I feel its hardware limitations are simply too restrictive for what I would want the app to do. I am, however, working on a solution involving Home Assistant. For the TC-002, I still have several ideas in the pipeline. Feel free to have a look at them and take inspiration from anything you find useful. If something is based on my work, just give credit where it’s due — and I’d also appreciate it if the overall look and layout remained distinct rather than becoming too similar. Happy coding, hi2hello
