I built an e-ink dashboard for displaying the map and weather for your city using Inkplate and a Raspberry Pi.
You're correct, a Raspberry Pi is capable of doing everything here. There is a project that is purely Pi-based.

MagInkDash: Magic E-Ink Dashboard project (full instructions and code within!)
Back in September 2021, I shared about my E-Ink Calendar project (MagInkCal) on Reddit (with full source code on Github), which was an attempt to replicate the Android Magic Calendar concept that inspired many DIY projects over the years. While the calendar has been serving me extremely well, I wanted a dashboard which offered additional information that was rich, timely and glanceable, such as the weather for the next hour just before leaving the house. While there were many projects that might achieve a similar outcome, I wanted something that met my specific needs. Hence, this project was born.
- Displays around the house or office for tasks, timer, etc

These e-ink metrobus arrival screens are pretty neat!
That's probably too niche to expect them to become more functional or cheaper with economies of scale. They don't really behave like most monitors today. The most reliable way to make second would to be have it as a USB connected device that "uploaded" what you wanted to read to it in a near instant fashion and you control it with an app on your other monitor. Someone savy enough could probably make one for the cost of the screen and run the code on a Raspberry Pi for under $200 (cost of Rpi + just the bare essentials of a screen).

Smart calendar based on RPI - Development in Progress - Description in comments
Sorry, maybe my headline was a bit misleading. I thought of it more as a description of the project, not as instructions. If you'd like more step-by-step instructions, I can really recommend the base project I used. It's very well documented and that's what I used to get started. Hope this helps you: https://github.com/speedyg0nz/MagInkCal
I noticed, that the link in the original post was broken, thanks for pointing in the right direction! I based my project on another project (Reddit, GitHub) and adapted the project to my needs. I think the base project gives a great guide on how to get started with this. I used another E-Paper panel, which I found on the Waveshare website. The general setup is the same, as in the base project. The base project uses an RPI, so it's not yet based on an ESP32 ✌🏼 I basically separated the provided source code, host it on a cloud platform, and then request it with the ESP32. As a response, I get the pre-rendered image, which then only needs to be displayed on the E-Paper.
