Without knowing what Car Thing was, I read all 3 of those pages and still have no idea what this project is.

Even knowing what it is, and having a Car Thing somewhere in a box in a closet, I still don't have any idea what this DeskThing thing is.

Some Chromium shell with yet-another-appstore that can somehow show (or maybe control) Spotify, Discord and weather, with Trello and Audible planned is my best guess. I guess, a couple screenshots or photos would've done wonders in this regard.

Either way, I fail to understand why I might prefer a separate low-power device to do something with the apps I can already see and control from desktop. But I'm glad someone found a use case for their Car Thing.

The utter lack of screenshots doesn't help either. I also read those pages and am also still unsure of what this is.

it is a opensource-crime to opensource something with a ui and not have a single screenshot of what the thing actually is.

I'm not sure how someone manages to make an entire project like this and provide absolutely zero pictures of it. Almost impressive how someone can just completely forget the most important thing to get people to understand what your project actually does.
