Do you know what day it is? Perhaps you're finding yourself losing track of time and your routine is suffering. The PyPortal Quarantine Clock has got you covered! It only displays the essential "stay-at-home" information - the current day and a rough estimate of the time.

The PyPortal obtains the precise time from the internet using the PyPortal's built-in WiFi module, then updates and displays an estimate of the time and date. The quarantine clock is programmed using CircuitPython and easily customizable.

This beginner PyPortal project is a remix of mwfisher3's quarantine clock. We've converted it to work with CircuitPython and made changes so it runs on the PyPortal.
