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)

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

CutiePi – thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
It's just a Pi running ARM64 Linux.
The default OS image that ships on the devices has their own touch UI shell which currently runs on EGLFS, which is basically an alternative to X or Wayland meant for embedded devices. So as it currently stands you can't run normal Linux apps in the default OS.
They're supposedly porting it to Wayland which will allow normal Linux applications to run within their custom shell. Their shell is a relatively straightforward Qt Quick application so it shouldn't take a huge amount of work to port. Though the most recent commit was a little over a year ago[1] so who knows when it'll actually get finished.
