DeskHog is a compact, open-source, 3D-printed device designed to bring developers joy through its versatility and charm. Small enough to fit in your pocket, this palm-sized gadget features a custom 3D-printed case housing an ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather processor, a 240x135 color TFT display, WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth LE, and a 10-hour battery life. Its playful design is complemented by a flashing LED, tactile buttons, and an I²C expansion port for hardware enthusiasts.
At its core, DeskHog serves as a hand-made micro games console, a desktop terminal for PostHog data, and a developer-friendly tool. It supports simple insights from PostHog projects via a captive portal, allowing users to link data through QR codes. Whether you want to play games like Pong or Flappy Bird, explore hardware expansions, or customize it with your own creations, DeskHog is designed to adapt to your imagination.
The DIY version is available now, enabling users to 3D print the enclosure and assemble components using open-source files on GitHub. Future plans include DeskHog Pro with enhanced features like additional buttons and a large dial, as well as accessories such as wrist straps. With unlimited potential and a community-driven approach, DeskHog invites developers to hack, build, and innovate while enjoying its playful charm.
