remoteink VS resources

A while ago, I made a similar tool for Pocketbook eInk readers specifically: https://github.com/borzunov/remoteink

Years ago, I've made a program turning Pocketbook e-ink readers into computer monitors with some extra features: https://github.com/borzunov/remoteink

The update speed is quite good (comfortable for writing texts and browsing most websites) even when connecting via Wi-Fi.

Reminded me of the tool turning Pocketbook E-Ink readers into computer monitors, which I made several years ago:

https://github.com/borzunov/remoteink

This could be used for the dashboards as well (no screen updates happen if the content doesn't change), if connected to a remote server or a Raspberry Pi.

Also, it allows to zoom in/out, switch between the opened windows, and move around the screen with keyboard shortcuts. No jailbreak is needed for the reader.

Thanks! As you say, the Pi does chew up quite a bit of the battery life, but I hope that usage should last for at least a day or two. I plan to use a 3,000 mAh battery with the thing, which seems to be quite a lot — my Pixel 4 has 2,800 mAh _and_ that doesn't even have an eInk display! For the purposes of my project, I'm not really focused on trying to make the device extremely thin either. Something relatively chunky (like 1-1.5 cm) is sometimes quite nice and welcoming imo.

I wrote up my own notes-to-self much like the author of the PaperTerm did, which provides a brief overview of my general ideas: https://github.com/inkySystems/resources

It's a tiny bit outdated since it has no mention of my idea of using a Pi CM4. I haven't got many publicly-available info about what I've done so far with my board (seeing that it's a side-side-project of mine or something to that effect...) but it's something I'm experimenting with whenever I've got time on my hands!
