What is go-lcd-clock?

go-lcd-clock is a small background program that drives an LCD display screen, turning it into a live information dashboard. Instead of just showing the time, it pulls in useful real-time data so you get a glanceable summary of things you might care about throughout the day. Once installed, it continuously refreshes the display with four pieces of information: the current date and time, your internet connection speed, and local weather conditions. It runs quietly in the background on your computer, acting as the bridge between your internet connection and the physical LCD screen. This would appeal to a hobbyist or tinkerer who enjoys building small hardware displays. For example, you might connect a small LCD panel to a Raspberry Pi, set this program running, and mount the screen on your desk. You would get a dedicated, always-on panel showing your network speed and the weather without needing to open a browser or check your phone. Because the project is written in Go, it is a single, self-contained program that is relatively lightweight and easy to run. The README does not provide setup instructions, specific hardware requirements, or details on how it pulls weather data, so you would need to look at the code itself to understand how to configure it for your own screen.
