I connect to it using a browser, design the label, and it prints via Bluetooth.

Anyway, it’s all very simple once you realize that Fabric.js [2] handles 80% of the interface and functionalities on the frontend. Probably with Aider [3] and Claude Sonnet 3.5, you can make it during breakfast (or 7 years: I’m a dev, so I’m VERY bad at time estimations).
