Well for me, part of the artistry is creating a device like this. In my own case, I seem to have become obsessed with power supplies, having started out being obsessed with nixie clocks. I am finally determined to bring a six tube clock to life (I've done single tube clocks, four tube clocks, an ITS1A clock, segment tube clocks etc.). Naturally, I have started with the power supply, but I am determined to get past that phase. Currently I am doing battle with the ESP32. But I digress.
@Marcin, may I suggest adding a one-tube-clock function? Or perhaps a 3V3 or 5V data-in function that would allow people to use your device on a daily basis? Perhaps in the next iteration of this product?
