📡 Current Status ✓ Live

Both Standard and Canvas plugins are operational! Worker returns photo data as JSON. TRMNL platform renders templates stored in Markup Editor.

Architecture: Polling strategy (POST /api/photo recommended, GET /api/photo legacy) - Worker returns JSON, not HTML. TRMNL handles all template rendering. Same backend API powers both plugin variants.
