Overview
A household dashboard on a retired, jailbroken Kindle: weather, upcoming calendar events, a shared todo list, tonight's dinner and an idea for the weekend.
How it works
A small Docker backend (on a TrueNAS box here) renders an 800×600 greyscale PNG. The Kindle wakes every 30 minutes, fetches it, paints it with `eips` and goes back to sleep. The layout is designed for the panel's limits: four greys, thick lines, large text and no dithering.
