INKY Frame + Raspberry Pi for a simple photo frame -- am I over my head?
The Pimoroni Inky Impression in your link comes with a number of useful example demos, including one (image.py) which shows an image of your choice. So the actual coding for your project is already mostly done :-)

Weather Display (Raspi Zero W + Inky wHAT)
I've been wanting to use my wHAT e-ink display for weather information, but nothing I was finding suited what I wanted. So I wrote up a completely new project using the provided libraries from Pimoroni for the display, while using pyOWM for the OpenWeatherMap integration.

The Quiet Internet Portal -- PaperPi now with plugin support for Crypto Currencies, RSS Feeds, Reddit Quotes and more!
Should be pretty easy! It's built to be flexible and work with different hardware. I just looked at the phat library and it should almost be totally feasible. Adding color support would also be possible, but will require a more work.

Small Crypto Tracker with an e-Ink display to stay updated (and easily track multiple assets' overall value)
Uses a 5.7" 600x448px 7 color ePaper/eInk Raspberry Pi HAT from Pimoroni (quite pricy though) with a Raspberry Pi 3 that periodically creates a screenshot of a web app via CRON and then renders it to the display – their repo makes it quite easy. A refresh takes around ~20-60 seconds.

I thought you guys would like this!
Yes I used their library, it's still actively developed.

I made a little e-ink newspaper that automatically scrapes a new front page every day. Now just have to wait for some good news.
Take a look at the html example in Pimoroni's library: if I remember right this was something to do with getting headless Firefox to screenshot a website, and display that on the InkyImpression. Phil Howard (Pimoroni's softwre guy) tweeted a couple of examples of his personal website on an Impression, so it shouldn't be too hard to get this to work for whichever website you want, surely.

Digital eInk picture frame which automatically shows photos you send via email!
I've seen this guide, and it seems the software comes with few examples and that this is their repo, right?

Need help finding the root cause of Waveshare 2.13V3 noise
I ported epd-waveshare V2 to async Rust, ran the sample on battery power using a 3.3V LDO. I did it in Partial Refresh mode. During this, display border appeared along with all that noise.

A WiFi color eInk picture frame
If anyone wants to make a similar project, there is a great Rust API to most of the Waveshare displays[0] (I added support for the display mentioned in the article 5in65f).
I also made a project[1] with it that generates art using a gameboy emulator and some static images and other transforms to show on the display.
