The full story
Seeed's Sticky is a small matte e-ink device. Its owner, not a professional developer, used Claude to build a custom firmware, a simulator and a flashing tool, turning it into an Apple TV and Infuse remote with toggles for lights, using partial refresh and running through Home Assistant.
The work started before the device arrived. The first prompt asked Claude Code to read Seeed's GitHub and say whether everything needed for a custom firmware was there, so the screens were designed by guesswork at first.
It took about a morning and a half to reach a first version the owner was happy with, and some odd bugs remain.
