This is amazing! Any thouhgts to commercialize it, or just a hobby project?
I started to work on this, because this is something I hoped existed. If there is enough interest, I am open to commercializing it. Its super easy to setup, especially given all my code is already open source :)
Hmm I wonder if this will work on the remarkable tablet
Based on my cursory look at `libremarkable`, the SDK looks a lot more capable. You will need to port the code from Python though :/
Great work on this! I especially appreciate the use of the limited-input device flow, after seeing many device projects that use flows intended for servers :)

Are you referring to this? [0] Might be out of scope, but from experience, there are some date/time conversions that will require the TZ name (e.g., "Europe/London") to avoid needing to know whether to use the offset value or DST offset value. Could be worth including the canonical names [1] in a future revision.
Again, awesome work, and it's pushing me to try an E-Ink project of my own!

Thanks for your kind words and the tip about using canonical names. Will take a look.
