it dawned on me that there really isn't much visibility from the main site.
There are several really cool projects going on right now,
'Simple digital clock'
'Espruino USB HID GamePad'
'Espruino on your watch!'
'Magnetic Door Lock with Secret Knock'
'Tinydash Widgets'
to name just a few.
It would be nice if there was a 'pinup' calendar page (massive image) for the (voted maybe?) current selected project, along with accessible (smaller image) previous months pages.
The submission would include the finished project image, a description along with the source code to create that project. The page would remain up for a minimum of one month, or longer, until the next completed project is posted.
Not trying to minimize the tremendous amount of work put into the underlying tutorials and examples, as there is a ton of excellent stuff there too. Just trying to add a bit of spark of the successes of others, which really aren't getting the visibility that shows off what Espruino * is * doing.
Could even be run as a contest. Adds a bit of excitement and bragging rights to those putting in extra effort.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

While we have a link page to 'Useful forum posts'
and a specific 'Projects' forum
it dawned on me that there really isn't much visibility from the main site.
