That's quite a milestone and achievement, well done! Your current Features list reads far beyond hobby level! It certainly puts my own hobby phone OS to shame. I'm still working out touch screen driver, and I only have IBM/437 bitmap fonts so far, which turned out to be far too small for these modern phone screens, for surely it cant be my tired old eyes...

Can I ask how you keep yourself motivated on such a complex, large and difficult project? This week I have been bogged down in I2C support and find myself wondering if I'll ever reach the next level.

Of course hard projects have their own special rewards, seeing that first pixel appear on screen was a magical moment, and felt like real programming again, especially compared to all these huge modern complex multi-layered software stacks.

Sometimes I take long breaks but I always end up coming back. I find doing multiple things in my projects at the same time to help me not burn out as easily.

    Thanks. Well your post motivated me to knock off the rest of the I2C yesterday.

    Good luck with the rest of your project.
