## What it is
A low-power personal dashboard that repurposes a jailbroken Kindle's e-ink screen to display daily information like weather, calendar, and schedules. A serverless Go backend (API Gateway/Lambda, deployed with Terraform) renders the dashboard image, which the Kindle fetches and displays via FBInk.

## Use cases
- repurpose an old kindle as an e-ink dashboard
- low power always-on display for weather and calendar
- build a heads-up display on e-ink hardware
- show daily schedule and forecasts on a kindle
- self-hosted e-ink status panel

## When to choose
- you have a jailbroken Kindle you want to repurpose
- you want an extremely low-power always-on display
- you prefer a serverless backend so the device never needs recompiling

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose dashboard framework for normal displays
- you don't want to jailbreak a Kindle or manage AWS Lambda/Terraform
- you need frequent interactive updates rather than periodic image refreshes
