October 8, 2025 🕰️ Introducing EleksTube IPS Clock — The Modern Nixie Tube Clock Reimagined with IPS Displays

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

We just launched EleksTube IPS Clock — a modern nixie tube clock built with IPS LCD displays and powered by ESP32 + Wi-Fi sync.

Classic nixie tube clocks are beautiful but fragile, expensive, and hard to maintain.

So we re-engineered the idea from scratch — keeping the vintage glow and retro charm, but giving it a modern digital soul.

Each “tube” is actually a high-resolution IPS screen that simulates the warm light of real nixie tubes.

You can customize colors, animations, brightness, and even switch between time, date, and weather modes.

✨ Key features:

  • Realistic nixie-style IPS displays

  • Wi-Fi synchronization + OTA firmware updates

  • Aluminum alloy body with modular design

  • Customizable display modes and effects

  • Perfect for desk setups, home offices, or collectors

We built EleksTube IPS Clock for makers, tech lovers, and anyone who appreciates a little retro magic on their modern desk.
