The full story
A Raspberry Pi 4 drives an LCD in the maker's home, and anyone visiting their website can draw on it in real time or upload images. WebSockets relay the strokes as normalised coordinates so drawings look the same on any screen size, and a second Pi with an HQ camera streams a live view of the display back to the homepage.
It was made with Claude Code in Python, FastAPI, plain JavaScript and WebSockets, with no frameworks or database, just flat JSON files and a systemd service. The maker, who calls themselves a noob, says it is still a work in progress.
