"I also tried with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2, but 512 MB of RAM were too little to run a [clock]"

As we all know it didn't used to be like this! Really hope that a side-effect of the RAMpocalypse is a return to sanity in regards to memory usage.

it's a fun hobby project and thanks for documenting it!

but it's a pre-bought circular screen, raspberry pi and a browser... i could use it to ask google the time, the clock is just a formality.

thinking about it a little harder, i guess the focus is not really the project and more so the watch faces.

Yeah that’s kinda how I felt, too.

I would have done this in either Processing, or if it was connecting to something running Plan9 I’d do raw draw commands.
