Task lists used to be a week-view-only sub-feature bolted onto calendar widgets (CalendarWidgetConfig.tasks_*), so a task list could only exist tied to a calendar's view and only inside its footprint. Tasks are now a standalone widget type (TaskWidgetConfig, app/widgets/tasks.py) that can be placed and sized independently, same as photos/calendar/ whiteboard -- no separate "enabled" flag either, since being on the grid at all is the on/off switch, matching every other widget type. Migration 17 creates task_widget_configs, extracts any existing calendar widget's configured task source into a new sibling tasks widget (auto-placed in open grid space, source dropped+logged if truly none is left), then drops calendar_widget_configs' now-dead tasks_* columns in the same migration -- this project's usual same-migration- drop convention. Also handles the rarer case of a database jumping straight from before the widget system existed to after this split in one boot, via the legacy Frame.calendar_tasks_* columns. Verified live in the browser at desktop and mobile widths: adding a Tasks widget, its own dialog (task-list source picker + preview), and confirming the calendar widget's dialog no longer mentions tasks at all. Full test suite (180 tests, including new coverage for the widget render/actions, the migration's data-extraction path, and the permission-boundary shape for tasks-source) passes.
ESPresso Frame
A DIY e-ink photo frame: an ESP32-C6 pulls photos from your Immich library and displays them on a 7.3" full-color e-paper panel, waking on a timer to refresh and spending the rest of its time in deep sleep.
- No cables to a computer, no SD card shuffling. Provisioning is a captive portal with a QR code drawn on the panel itself -- scan, join, fill in your WiFi and server address, done.
- The frame never decodes an image. A small self-hosted server does all the work (pulling from Immich, cropping, dithering, packing into the panel's exact pixel format) and hands the device a stream it can write straight to SPI. The ESP32-C6 has no PSRAM and not much SRAM to spare -- keeping it a dumb display client is what makes that workable.
- Crops toward faces, not just the center, using face bounding boxes Immich already computed for its own People feature -- no bundled face detector.
- Refresh interval and album are configurable from a web UI, no reflashing needed to change them.
Hardware
- ESP32-C6 dev board (8MB flash)
- Waveshare 7.3" E Ink Spectra 6 (E6) panel -- 800x480, 6-color, SPI
See docs/hardware.md for wiring,
docs/architecture.md for how the two halves talk
to each other, and docs/widgets.md for the server's
placeable photos/calendar/whiteboard widget system.
Getting started
server/-- run the FastAPI server first (Docker Compose, points at your Immich instance). Seeserver/README.md.firmware/-- build and flash the ESP32-C6, then scan the QR codes it draws on first boot to provision it. Seefirmware/README.md.
