Turning an Old Kindle into a Family Dashboard
2025-04-29
A father, frustrated with his daughter's tardiness for school, repurposed an old Kindle into a family information dashboard. He jailbroke the Kindle, then wrote scripts and built a backend API to display real-time weather, public transport information, and his daughter's school schedule. The backend uses Cloudflare Workers, Hono JS, and cleverly solves image format conversion challenges. The result? A functional, personalized information display.
