ThingyChat: A Real-Time, Web-Controlled Emoji Display

Welcome to the first official project built on the ThingyChat Platform! This "Smart Emoji Display" is more than just a grid of lights; it's a powerful demonstration of how seamlessly we can connect a modern web application directly to custom hardware. Together, we'll build a sign that displays animations and custom art created in real-time right from your phone.

I poured a lot of passion into developing this open-source platform, and the journey from the first idea to a working prototype is captured in the video below. It's the best place to see the full vision of ThingyChat in action!Building and sharing projects with the maker community is what drives this forward. If you enjoy this tutorial and believe in the vision of creating more open and interactive technology, the best way to show your support is by leaving a 'Like' 👍 on the video.
