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)

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
This is quite blatant a copy of my project from a few years back: https://github.com/dabch/epaper-calendar
Considering that you even starred my GitHub repository and that even the frame looks pretty exactly like the one I built (but with nicer quality), this really seems to be heavily inspired by my build from early 2019.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy that people like to build on my stuff. You could even re-use the code (MIT license). Making this thing ready to sell is probably a lot of work. I never had any intention to do that.
But still, don't sell this as your idea. And remember, MIT license allows you to re-use the code, but it requires to re-state the license text, including the name of the original author.
