The Readme doesn't tell me anything. What does "max7221 ds1307" (the whole content of the file) mean?

Ah I should update the README For sure. Both of those are chips (ICs). I should also provide a link to the AVRM libraries which are crucial to this working.

The DS1307 is a RTC (real time clock). The MAX7221 is an LED driver.

Maybe I’ll even add a picture of the hacked together curcuit.
