Personally a fan of Adafruit's Feather boards, their ESP32 Feather can probably use the WLED code as-is, and there's expansions that include all the LEDs already soldered https://www.adafruit.com/product/2945

Can confirm that Huzzah32 runs WLED just fine. Really convenient to have that LiPo battery connector and charging circuit built in, too.

check out the boards made by Quindor. Very solid, very affordable. https://quinled.info

His videos and blog posts are super helpful too!

Check out the Athom box, available on Ali Express:

It's an all in one with WLED on it. You just need a strip, some wire and a power supply.

Also available from their site with much faster shipping than AliExpress’s Jan 20 (to the US, at least).

Happily using this little guy to drive 100 fairy lights (from Adafruit), all from a USB plug.

Search "ESP RGB" on AliExpress. There's a $2 breakout board for the ESP-01 that makes it really easy to run LED strips. All you have to do it power it with 5V and the board converts it for the ESP.
