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).

Feedback Welcome: I am developing an e-paper calendar as a consumer product
You will have to compete with much cheaper ideas like this kindle-based dashboard https://github.com/pascalw/kindle-dash

Anyone know where I can fabricate a case for my Raspberry Pi project?
I like the CutiePi design.

Resources to learn how to create a display-driving embedded linux application?
One decent example I can think of off the top of my head is the CutiePi, which is a cool little tablet with a UI built with QML.

CutiePi – thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
Personally I've been waiting for the CutiePi to use the CM4, and now they have updated the platform I'll probably get one myself.
Having said that it looks like a missed opportunity here for supplying the masses with a Linux device for learning purposes especially in the developing countries during the pandemic or not. I think the best price for this device is USD$100 as promised by the ill fated OLPC laptop project. Perhaps USD$100 is not much by developed countries standard incomes but in most part of developing countries you are very lucky to have USD$100 disposable income at the end of the month (or year) to buy your children a tablet/laptop/computer.
It also interesting to note that the 2019 Galaxy Tab A (without LTE) with similar specs (8", 2 GB RAM, etc) to the CutiePie is probably cost about USD$100 nowadays [1].
The good news is that since CutiePie is based on open hardware system perhaps someone can use the open design to come up with a cheaper version closer to the USD$100 price point[2].
p/s: RPi 400 costs about USD$100 but the fact it does not has a built-in screen limits it impacts on usability department for children
