'So the great tutorials on espruino.com'
I believe that Gordon is the main creator of that content and deserves the credit.
'I tried several Youtube-tutorials'
Myself, I prefer the text snippet layout that currently exists and it's actually what drew my attention to Espruino in the first place.
Do you feel then, that having more video tutorials would be a better alternative?
'I wanted to express, that I feel a bit guilty asking questions which could've been answered by myself by a revision of my code'
Hey @radswid go easy on yourself!! I'm impressed recognizing the 'intuition' you are using to solve these miniscule anomalies yourself, and completed in two days!! No one gave you the answers. All I did was point the compass in the correct direction to allow you to turn over those stones that were hiding the treasure. (or as allObjects might relate to, trim the sail to better tack into the wind ;-)
Regarding: 'Are you sure you are a beginner?? . . . . So I guess so.'As I recognized your skills in a near complete solution with minimal upfront knowledge, My reason for asking was that should you be younger and seeking a career, that as you possess the fundamental skills that those that continue on also expand on, seriously consider software development. You were able to read into suggestions, the 'Think-Do-Think' mindset, then translate that to your project using 'Do-Think-Do'. . . . and, . . . Viola`! your working code block. Impressive skill set indeed!!
Really nit-picky here, and I'm not the one to qualify even this assessment, 'let vs. var'
My understanding is that 'let' was intended for block scope within functions.

Maybe the need for another thread here, or analysis by @allObjects, @AkosLukacs, etal
Request for @Gordon completion here:
As I have not studied up on Bangle Apps and deployment, I'm not sure if the following should be done, or even if it is possible.
Q1: Should the App itself contain startup logic as described in the following, is it wise to do so?
launching page - sample snippets
Great read written by allObjects
simple explanation how to save code that espruino run on start?
Q2: Is is possible to turn the App itself into a module, pros and cons doing so?

Thanks for your kind words, @Robin.
I wanted to express, that I feel a bit guilty asking questions which could've been answered by myself by a revision of my code and re-reading some tutorial-parts. But maybe you're right, sometimes you need a kind of other "input" to get to a solution.
Before starting this project I copypasted tutorial-codesnippets into the IDE or tried changing code-parts of e.g. a clock app to change its look. So I guess so.
I tried several Youtube-tutorials, but never found one which focuses on javascript without combining it with html and css. So the great tutorials on espruino.com and those mentioned references were the only "sources of knowledge" for me.
Ah, it's obviously unnecessary, as there are only two conditions for tstate :D . Should've rechecked before posting.
Thanks again for spending your time on my gain of knowledge! Really appreciate that!
