Frontend:

       Catppuccin - used for the color scheme, it is pleasing and dark, with good guidelines on how to implement it
       Chart.js - used to create the graphs in the web interface
       Numeral.js - used to abbreviate large numbers on the charts

Backend:

       raspberry_pico_w_websocket - Very important baseline for websockets for serving to web clients
       dool - Useful for getting system statistics easily sent to the pi
       Waveshare Library - Waveshare (incomplete and not documented) e-ink library
