@github.awesome: It's an ESP32-based alarm clock that, instead of beeping, sends reverse voltage through a capacitor until it pops, and that pop is your alarm. Three slots, so it's good for three mornings before you reload it. It's got an OLED clock, a web UI, current-limiting resistors on each slot for safety, and it pulls the time over WiFi. The creator even admits the voltage regulators double as a tiny space heater. #github #opensource

What about making it beep first for 15 seconds and if you don't turn it off within that time it's gonna pop

This is the backup alarm. Gives you an additional incentive to get up on the first alarm
