This way you could set it to 'dim' the display after a delay.
You could set it to 'blank' screen or sleep the display too.
You could even use the screensaver to have something else play, like pictures or something.

Then when someone walks up to it or sits near it, it would wake as you could easily put a sensor on a GPIO or something and have that be the spacebar or something like that. Or the right arrow...etc.

Hey man, I really appreciate your help and encouragement. Why would I be annoyed? And you also shouldn't feel sorry to be excited about something (anything) unless your excitement is causing someone actual harm... which it isn't in this case!

I am just juggling a lot of stuff at the moment... aftermath and adjustments of switching career & doing FOSS+content full time. Addressed some of the easy issues you had filed; other ones on v3.0.0 milestones are work in progress. I didn't even get enough time to properly setup my GitHub sponsor page/tiers yet; had to hold all those back for the higher priority tasks. Hoping to push v3 out by EOD... let's see.

For this particular issue, maybe an IR or proximity sensor would be enough; but if using camera, then we might have to segment+classify to detect humans on the live feed for it to make sense. I am not entirely sure if this fits in the scope of this project, or should it be a different (supporting) project... but I'm okay to keep it open until I have more time for these stretch goals, or someone picks it up & sends pull requests.

Ya, I'm thinking it could literally just be 2 GPIO pins to detect, then anyone can use any sensor they like. Then could set the 'reset time', so after a detection, stay on for X minutes.
