I like the concept, but I'd like to set it up so NEMO Portal launches the portal right when you select the menu option. Could we move the SSID Modification flow so when a special button is pressed on a cardputer, we can alter the SSID?

Hmmm that is a interesting point, @n0xa.
Thinking about user experience, in my opinion, the SSID definition step wouldn't impact the UX.
In fact, I think the current flow is very clean because the previously used SSID will be populated on the screen, so if the user just wants to launch the NEMO Portal, it can simply press Enter and the previous SSID will be used.
What do you think?

This will write to EEPROM every single time you start NEMO portal, causing excess EEPROM wear. Additionally, this will cause which ever WiFi you clone from WiFi scanner to be the new default SSID for NEMO Portal even if you don't want it to be.
Two changes I would like:
- Confirm y/n if the user wishes this SSID to be saved to EEPROM
- If the SSID in EEPROM matches the one to be saved, skip writing the EEPROM to keep from excess EEPROM cycles

Nice point, @n0xa! I completely agree that EEPROM writing can be optimized by implementing your suggestion 2.
I will definitely implement it!
Regarding the first suggestion (y/n confirmation), I don't think it would improve the user experience. In fact, I think the current flow is very clean because the previously used SSID will be populated on the screen, so if the user just wants to launch the NEMO Portal, it can simply press Enter and the previous SSID will be used.
What do you think?
