Great interview.

I really enjoyed watching this project come together.

I was very impressed with the overall design and implementation.

I got to see the new technology interface with the old to result in a nice upgraded device with both old charm and new capability.

Well done.

This was a very interesting project from the application stage right through to the completed item.

The goals weren't overstated, and the user interface is simple and effective.

The efforts to ensure it could be returned to the way it was previously was a nice touch, and it fitted the theme of Upcycling very well.

Congratulations a well deserved win, and a very useful addtion.

Mark

Great summary of a great project. The old and new parts blend very well. Having a programmable brain like an Edison in a device like this does mean that you can expand its capabilities.

I do like Node-Red and the ability it gives to wire things flexibly. If you can build your own components in NodeJS then you can extend on that giving a very powerful framework. I'm fairly sure both tools have options for parsing RSS.

Great write up. Projects are never done, but I think this will be the center hub of many more additions.
