Hi everyone, I hope you've already tried the new Microcast v0.9 update 👀
I want to port Microcast to the LilyGo T-Deck, but I don’t have the extra money to buy the device 😟
Maybe you could give me some advice, or perhaps someone has an old, working device they no longer need—that would really help me port the app 🙏
✅ Web UI - microcast.online
✨ What's New:
🔌 Web Serial Bridge — connect via USB and control the device without flashing the firmware
🌐 Full-featured Web UI — feed, profile, posts, likes, and comments in pixel style
🔔 Browser Notifications — notifications about new posts even with the tab minimized
⚡️ Pixel Sci-Fi UI — same style as on the device: cyan, yellow, green glow
----------------------------------------------------
🟢Each user now has a unique IDENTICON in v0.8, which can be viewed in the YOU section. Share your IDENTICON's on Reddit!
>IDENTICON - This is a unique graphic avatar automatically generated based on a hash function of user data.
‼️IMPORTANT:
* If you've updated to v0.7 via flash (or M5Burner), go to Settings > Check Update, and Install v0.8 now!
* If using M5Launcher, update via Launcher OTA!
Now the device can check for updates and install them via Wi-Fi, without the need for a USB connection or Launcher/Burner. I recommend updating now, as an update will be released soon that will make your account unique, be the first 👀
>When a new update is available, you will see a 🟢 icon next to the version number on the home screen. All you have to do is go to YOU > Settings > Check update > Install update.
‼️IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the device during the update!‼️
----------------------------------------------------
📟To get the v0.7 update, you now need to flash your device using Launcher or M5Burner.
> M5Burner | M5Launcher OTA | GitHub <
‼️DON'T FORGET TO WRITE DOWN YOUR RECOVERY CODE!‼️
