About:
Pixlet is a runtime environment and user experience toolkit specifically designed for creating pixel-based applications. It enables developers to build apps for low-resolution displays like LED matrices and e-paper screens, providing a simple scripting language and rendering engine optimized for pixel graphics. The toolkit abstracts hardware complexities, allowing developers to focus on creating engaging visual experiences for embedded and IoT devices.

Key Features:

Runtime for pixel-based app execution
UX toolkit with drawing primitives and layout system
Scripting language for dynamic content
Hardware abstraction for various display types
Optimized rendering for low-resolution screens

Use Cases:

Developing apps for LED matrix information displays
Creating visual applications for e-paper or low-res embedded screens
Building pixel art animations and interfaces for IoT devices

Alternatives:

LEDscape – Lower-level firmware for LED matrices, less app-focused
rpi-rgb-led-matrix – Library for Raspberry Pi LED matrices, requires more manual programming
