Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: E-Ink Day Schedule
https://www.invisible-computers.com/invisible-calendar/image...
Two:
https://github.com/Invisible-Computers/image-gallery/blob/ma...
Both of these require rendering the content via an HTTP endpoint and both of these currently still require the content to be proxied through the device backend.
> I can buy an ESP32 e-ink screen and run esphome or any of several other open source projects and put a piece of wood on the front of it, too.
Yes, you can! And if you do this, you have absolutely no need to use my e-paper smart screen.

E-ink is so Retropunk
I am hoping to add third party apps, that's why I have created the API for 3rd party apps:
https://github.com/Invisible-Computers/image-gallery/blob/ma...
But right now, I understand that building an app for my platform is
a) more hassle than just pointing to a URL
b) limited upside, because the audience that you can charge for a subscription isn't very big yet.
However, I think that a good app could generate its own audience (aka drive ppl to buy the displays) and then make money by charging them a small monthly subscription fee.

I wasted $855.77 on Google Ads and got my ads banned 5 times
I'll ship within Europe as soon as I have bootstrapped the 7000 Euro necessary for CE certification.
In terms of openness, there is this:

and this:
https://github.com/Invisible-Computers/image-gallery/blob/ma...
I also want to make the esp32 controller itself more hackable in future, but I don't want to promise anything because that's quite a lot of work for me.

Ask HN: Any Hardware Startups Here?
Here is the API description:
https://github.com/Invisible-Computers/image-gallery/blob/ma...
And here is the sample app:

Admittedly, I am not the greatest technical writer, but I compensate by being pretty responsive. :)

A WiFi color eInk picture frame
This display offers a simple API to build applications for it:
https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale...
https://github.com/Invisible-Computers/image-gallery/blob/ma...
The API doesn't require any special knowledge about e-paper displays, it just expects an image URL in the correct resolution and will then render it to the display.
You can buy the display off the shelf, and if you are interested in building an app, contact me at [email protected] for a developer account :)
Feel free to go to town on it :)

Show HN: E-Ink Day Schedule
Instead of using a cronjob you can put the device into sleep and use the RTC to schedule the next wakeup (see [1]). This takes only very little power, as the device is only turned on for mere seconds and sleeps the remaining time.

CutiePi – thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
The stopgap solution for this is pascalw's kindle-dash[1]. I set it up on my jailbroken kindle and now it displays some headlines, my google calendar events, and the weather (via OpenWeatherMap API)

We built a word clock for you r/kindle :)
This thread or this project might be what you're after. The first is a full screen browser, the second is replacing the screen saver image and going into sleep mode.

Show HN: QueryCal – calculate metrics from your calendars using SQL
Hey HN, I built this project because last year I did a terrible job of actually taking time off work and needed a way to see just how overdue I was to take a day off.
Because so much is already automatically tracked in my calendar (e.g. the HR system adds calendar events for booked holiday), I just needed a way to query it to get the metrics I wanted.
Originally I used a Go MySQL implementation to evaluate queries but it was a bit buggy and didn’t support all the SQL I wanted. Now I’m using a full SQLite database for each user so you can really do some gnarly queries (recursive CTEs, window functions, the works).
Personally, I’m using QueryCal as a Grafana datasource to power a dashboard that’s displayed on an old Kindle on my desk (using this great project: https://github.com/pascalw/kindle-dash).
