 Yo, it is INCREDIBLE to play with bigger screen possibilities for  @SeedSigner!! 🔥🔥👀

For now this 320x240 ili9341 is the sweet spot. Bigger, much easier to read, smooth framerate, and I've already adapted the code to handle the 3:2 aspect ratio.

The tiny Waveshare display hat has served us well, but a new wave of better, cooler build possibilities will be on the horizon!

 That’s glorious! The SeedSigner IMAX 
 🤣 LOVE THAT!!! 
 If I try to push even more pixels -- 320x480 (ili9486) -- we hit some hard performance limits of the available python drivers out there.

For now the above 320x240 experiments look awesome enough, so I'm not placing a high priority on higher resolution screens.

Though by using some naive "improvements" I did get better framerates. But with some tradeoffs...

 Just don’t forget us OG’s 
 The original Waveshare hat will always be supported! 
 I would be very much down for that. I love the seed signer. My one complaint is that I habe fairly bad eyesight ( that’s deteriorating more unfortunately) and the screen is hard to read. 
 Same! My eyes aren't great, either. 

Anytime someone says, "you can just use a smaller font so you can fit more info on the screen," my reaction is always, "BRO... not f'n happening."  
 touchscreen right? that's awesome 
 Amazing work Keith! 
 If it could look a mobile gaming machine or phone that’d be so dope since then no one would know what it’s for - especially if people make games for it. Swap out SD cards for games vs wallet. 
 I'm looking forward to this development. @SeedSigner for us older dudes. Snow guys!
