So here& #39;s why I bought a receipt printer:

Every time one of my GitHub repos gets a new issue, I now get a physical ticket printed out on my desk https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🪄" title="Magic wand" aria-label="Emoji: Magic wand">
Spiced it up a bit with an appropriate @wesbos sticker
For anyone interested, I& #39;m planning on doing a write-up this weekend of how I got this working. Short story is that the printer is hooked up to a RPi Zero W via USB and running a local PHP server (yes, PHP!), which then sends raw ESC/POS commands to the printer.
And here it is! A full walk-through of how I got this printer set up and printing with GitHub webhooks, PHP, ngrok, and a Raspberry Pi. https://aschmelyun.com/blog/i-built-a-receipt-printer-for-github-issues/">https://aschmelyun.com/blog/i-bu...
I built a receipt printer for GitHub issues

I wanted a way to have physical tickets from GitHub in front of me. One Epson printer, a Raspberry Pi, and some PHP later, I had a working system in place.
