   Are we seeing an uptick in the number of posts/chatter around ESP32 of late?

   I recently got interesed in hobby electronics again and happened to lookup what I can do with an ESP32 -- and since then there has been at least one HN front page post about ESP32 every day. Not sure if it is just a frequency illusion.

      ESP32 was always a popular series for hobbyists and low volume embedded. Among the cheapest and most easily available ways to get Wi-Fi or BT into your microcontroller project.

      The barrier to entry is much lower now. Not necessarily to entry but to do actual useful stuff. You can point your fav agent at it and tell it to do things besides "light up a led". That could also be a factor.
