Created a Display Preview Renderer

[rich rampart]

I was kind of fed-up with recompiling my code everytime to create displays for my projects. So I created a dart interpreter in flutter. The code can be seen here: https://github.com/Writer-IT/esphome_display_editor
You can see your code preview on the bottom right, and edit configurable variables to preview how they'll look like.

And you can use it right now at: https://esphome-display-editor.writerit.nl/

Right now not all ESPHome APIs are implemented, however most basic ones work right now. Feel free to create an issue if you're missing an API right now. I'll be slowly adding more features. And on a longer term have a look to implement LVGL support.

Have you tried the SDL host platform?

Ahh nice, yeah kinda different than this solution. Sadly this is not implemented in a web version.

Nifty, this is sure to save me a bunch of time testing, flashing, correcting, flashing again etc when I'm doing this next! Thankyou 🙏

Feel free to send any configs that break, then I have some goals for APIs to implement 😁

Would it be possible to implement interval updates so we could test the display with a running text as well or is that too complex?
Probably too much as it would have to run the config like ESPHome would incl. Updating counters for the text
