This idea really resonates. Like others have mentioned, there's a unique power to a physical artifact that a digital to-do list just can't replicate. I went down this exact rabbit hole a while back, trying to bridge the gap betwee

I am using Printercow for another project of mine where I developed a POS-system where many thousands receipts need to be printed. This was one of the motivations. AI was kind of a afterthought. :P

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I really appreciate you sharing your perspective, especially about the compliance requirements. You're right, and you're not alone - many others in the thread have expressed similar concerns ab

Valid question. Printercow is aiming for a plug-and-play scenario where you can use whatever thermal printer you want with an extensive html-like template engine.

Great choice MUNBYN printers are awesome! Recently I found that NETUM thermal printers are even cheaper for comparable performance. :)

Sorry, this should definitely work. Try clicking on your avatar -> Manage Accounts -> Security -> Delete Account. Will look into this.

I really like the proposal from black_puppydog here. Free forever self-host and a pay-per-print in case you want to have support or don't want to hassle with the infrastructure. Like Coolify is doing it.

Once it's out of alpha you can self-host this project

Speaks nothing against this - though give it some time to leave the alpha phase. Hosting is super easy using Docker and e.g. Coolify as PaaS right now.

Not fully decided on the payment yet. Thinking about going the Coolify route with self-hosted and cloud option or with pay what you use (seems more software tending to this one). Happy for any feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! Thought about this as well! If enough people are interested I'll integrate a one-click install option. :)

Totally get the resentment. However, I'm particularly excited about the benefits this could bring, especially for people like my grandma with dementia. She could say, "Print my shopping list," or "Can you write down my s

Thanks so much! Elixir was on my list but decided for Fastify (Node v22), Postgres and Vue3 in the end as these are the things I am more familiar with. :) The command is on the Printercow homepage - though proper docs are coming by end of t

Indeed. But there are some good BPA-free alternatives on the market

When it comes to regular ink/laser printers: yes. When it comes to thermal printers, you are normally left alone with just the ESC/P protocol, plus most printers handle the commands in a different way. The way I solved this issue

In case you don't want to create an account, you can just comment with your prompts and I will enter them myself. You can watch let it print on https://twitch.tv/printercow then. :)

With SWD and a Tag-Connect connector[1]. I watched someone on youtube recommend it due to the small space and low profile. You can use the VSCode NRF Connect SDK plugin (coupled with Jlink or NRF52 dev kit) to flash the device. But of cours

For $9.90 you get a Seeed Xiao NRF52840[1] board with Arduino support. In sleep mode it consumes just 1µA. In my spare time I'm building smart locks with these that last for up to 2 years with a CR123 battery. Recently I switched from

Right now the SDK supports body pose estimation without finger joints. Does anybody know or work on a model including finger joints?

Can I ask on which platform you bought the project? Would like to do something similar.

Wow that’s looks pretty cool!

Would love to hear what kind of things you already automated on your farm :)
