Gemini on ESP32 and [suggestion] examples in spec

[Kevin Sangeelee]

The post linked below talks about basic accessible devices in terms of
sustainability, but I think the ideas are quite closely related to
your own. Essentially, it suggests that an existing ubiquitous source
of low-power networked computing is the plethora of Android phones in
circulation (that are only really made 'obsolete' for the purpose of
shareholder returns). It's quite a compelling case for applications in
which WiFi/GSM/Bluetooth/etc. is enough.

Tied with something like Deedum (https://github.com/snoe/deedum),
perhaps modified to support older hardware and to also support sync
for offline viewing, this would seem to be a big head start in
achieving your goal, albeit from a different direction.
