I love what you've done here, I decided to go with the 64x8 screen size, when I went to attempt to print the enclosure I found that it wasn't Water Tight, I had to fix the model before it was printable, after printing it was like 2-3mm too small to fit the displays. The clock doesn't seem to work well with Day Light Savings Time in the USA and I wish there was a way to add a Twitch follower/subscribers counters to it too. Back on the case, I had to take a pair of side cutters and just cut the right side's wall out so the displays stick out. Also, the time doesn't stay set, keeps setting to GMT 0 and doesn't stick to the time it actually is.

This app makes using MAX7219 LED matrix very, very easy. No need for problematic Arduino sketches. ESP8266 flashing was done using the app and was very easy. Great work guys. Thanks. UPDATE: The clock doesn't display correctly between 10 and 11am. The calendar does not always update automatically. Disconnecting the clock's power usually fixes the calendar problem. Would be nice to have these bugs fixed along with a new version.

Works pretty good but if you have a wifi password that includes special characters, then you can't connect to it at all, so you will simplify your password then try again. And the fonts are not good There are very usable type of pretty fonts that work on this matrix and you can take advantage of using those in the next update. Sor far thanks for your time and effort in this amazing app
