That looks awesome! I made a similar thing: https://medium.com/@christophe.smet1/flux-irl-building-a-hue... Would you be interested in a collaboration ?

Definitely! Email is in my profile. I also made the same thing as you! Fits four boards per 5x5 panel, I'm going to write it up properly after it arrives.

I'm working on a project like this as well!

Still in the early stages -- I just got my parts. I'm planning on using the ESP8266 chip + Arduino core (https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino) controlled with a simple web-app.

There's a handy library for doing the Chromecast style wifi setup here (https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager).

The hardest part of the LED project for me was finding the right components (especially MOSFETs). Send me an email at hi at stavros dot io if you want to talk about it, I can also send you my KiCad files for the controller PCB (which I'll blog about after I get the fabricated PCBs).
