IT'S SCHOOL TIME! ADVENTURES IN HACKING KINDLE
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
This developer repurposed an old Kindle into a school dashboard for their daughter. The project involved jailbreaking the Kindle, setting up SSH access, and creating a backend API using Cloudflare Workers to fetch and display real-time weather, public transport data, and the school timetable. The API renders this information into a grayscale PNG image, which is then displayed on the Kindle's screen.
