This project is currently working and can be used, but there are a lot of improvement opportunities:

1) It would be great if you could send formatted payload in terms of title/body. For ex. title:"This is long title", body:"This is a very long body" 2) Stop splitting words - with known maximum amount of characters per line, it would be great for print to not cut words to two lines if possible. 3) Ability to configure using MQTT - besides MQTT and WiFi configuration, all other options could be formatted using MQTT (size of text, line spacing,...)

Those are just some of the ideas on how to improve code, but at this point, my knowledge is just not enough on how to do that.
