I used Charlieplexing to drive four LEDs, four buttons, and a beeper from a 6-pin PIC10F200 with only four GPIOs. (and one is input-only!) It was a lot of fun working out the correct TRIS/GPIO combinations. (and fitting the whole thing into 256 instructions and 16 bytes of RAM was fun too)

Have you seen any industry applications of that part? I'm seeing 51 cents/piece at 3k on DigiKey, which is pretty wild when more fully featured OTP parts are available for less than ten cents.
The PIC10F200 has been around for a very long time. It used to be much cheaper relative to competitors but now there are many cheaper options.
I love it, that's a great little build!
Thanks for sharing! Now my wife wants one. I think adding a keychain hole would be cool!
