I built a black-and-white e-ink display so I'd stop checking my phone 60 times a day

I was unlocking my phone 60 times a day just to see my todos, calendar, and unread counts. Every unlock pulled me out of whatever I was doing. So I built a black-and-white display that shows it all at a glance. It sits on my desk like a picture frame. No backlight. No notifications. No sounds. How it works: Raspberry Pi driving a 7.5" Waveshare e-ink panel Server renders the whole screen as an 800×480 1-bit PNG with node-canvas The Pi just fetches the image and draws it (e-ink hates fast refreshes, so this keeps it sipping power) Pulls from Todoist, Google Calendar, weather, and RSS Updates every 30 minutes Now, phone unlocks dropped from 60 a day to about 15. The info didn't go anywhere, it just stopped living behind a lock screen. It is completely free and open-source (still in wip) https://quietdash.com EDIT: wrong title, I didn't build the eink display, I built the dashboard that lives on it submitted by /u/InnerPhilosophy4897 [link] [留言]
