Since its first inception in 2017, my vision about esp-rfid was beautifully looking and easily used firmware for ESP8266 microcontroller, of course there was also additional design goals like stand-alone approach as well, where you do not need to worry about setting up another software or service to use it. In my opinion these are the key features behind the success of esp-rfid. I tried my best to create a beautiful, mobile-first user interface which is again in my opinion the best available user interface in all open source ESP8266 projects.

My approach of bringing ease of use and good looking user interface already influenced other projects too, there are now more than 150 fork of esp-rfid and various projects built on top of esp-rfid.

Community members from "China" to "Bosnia and Herzegovina" created several hardware to move esp-rfid's functionality further like battery powered version. I just love seeing people around the world playing with your code and hacking it further and discussing other possibilities, open source is simply amazing.

I just wanted to thank every one of the community member. Thanks making this project something that I love.
