Looking for Waveshare raw e-ink panels with HDMI board
Funnily enough I’ve build a command line only e-ink laptop and it works great. The Waveshare HDMI boards actually don’t work in displaying with Linux terminals. Instead you need the IT8951 board, which they still sell, and PaperTTY (https://github.com/joukos/PaperTTY)

New to cyberdecks - eInk question
Here is pretty much the go-to for eink with a raspberry pi. I have yet to get it to work, but there have been others who have posted here with a working project. This will give you an eink screen that can easily handle text interface, but I don't think the color ones are supported. In general, color eink has a slower refresh rate than just 2-color, so I would start there. I have the waveshare 2.13 screen, so once I get that working, I'll probably guy a larger screen for a build
- Good E-Ink screen for a e-paper "typewriter"?

E-Ink Type Laptop ?
I'm currently working on an IT-8951 7" version to be more portable and affordable. If you're comfortable with Python and/or C, there are a lot of resources on Github and Waveshare's own wiki page. PaperTTY is one of the more popular repos with good discussion in issues about how to work with Waveshare's e-ink panels.

Meet Solarsail, a solarpunk, e-ink solar powered cyberdeck :) My pride and joy. I'll have better photos soon using the solar panels but I couldn't wait to show it off :)
The screen is a 10.3 inch Waveshare panel, running the PaperTTY project (https://github.com/joukos/PaperTTY/) in VNC mode, protected from the sun by a pair of 3mm UV blocking matte acrylic sheets.

Has anyone used e-ink/e-paper kits?
I have any extra Waveshare 9.7" with display HAT laying around if you're (or anyone else is) interested in buying. I bought it for a build and got it working with PaperTTY and a raspi zero w. I probably have under 15 hours on it. I ended up just swallowing the cost and purchased a 10.3" with HDMI input since I wanted a fully fleshed out eink laptop instead of just one locked to a single terminal. But it's a great option if you're open to using it with PaperTTY as a distraction free writing or coding environment. PaperTTY also has VNC functionality.

For Sale: Freewrite Traveler with Official Case
I use a 9.7 e-ink panel, a Raspberry Pi 4 (TBH, overkill for this build when a Zero W would have worked fine), and a 60% mechanical keyboard. I'm currently getting a laptop case 3D printed to house it all in. I configured the raspi 4 to boot up to command line and run PaperTTY https://github.com/joukos/PaperTTY automatically. The e-ink panel mirrors tty1 and PaperTTY runs on another terminal (e.g., tty3).
- I wanted a dedicated computer only for writing so I made one! RPI 4, hyperpixel, focus writer, and rsync for Dropbox backup

I can't use a waveshare e-ink with an rp-pico and Rust.
Thanks for sharing your solution and code! I don't have experience with Rust, but I was able to get a Waveshare 9.7" e-ink screen with the IT8951 driver to work with PaperTTY, which is Python-based. PaperTTY has reported compatibility up to the Waveshare's 13.3" screen if you ever want to expand into other sizes.

A personal raspberrypi powered eink dashboard
epaper.js seems like an interesting java lib. I wrote something pretty similar, though based in python and fully modular, in case you‘re interested :D https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal

GB Renewable generation forecast (including Octopus energy agile tariff) display using Inky wHAT and Pi Zero
I saw you used Pillow to handle the same font with different hardcoded fontsizes, while it works pretty well for a one-off setup, it‘s not hard modifying the fontsize even on-the-go, e.g. as shown in one of my codes using an E-Paper display: https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal/blob/30a6f6499e34e8cf10d8b25d84b577f3c0443bdc/inkycal/custom/functions.py#L85 or if you’re interested in the full code: https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal

I created a little motivational quote bot in Python which displays random quotes throughout the day. Also, I made the case in Blender 3D and it is my first (successful) 3D print! Let me know if you want to see the code for this :)
