Score: 5.7/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 3, Utility: 5)

A hardware hack that reverse-engineers a standing desk's firmware by inserting an ESP32 proxy between the keypad and controller to intercept signals, then exposes control over Bluetooth to a Mac. It's an interesting DIY embedded systems project combining hardware interception with wireless control, though documentation is minimal and the solution is highly specific to one device.

Target audience: embedded developers, hardware hackers, DIY enthusiasts
