Kindle e-ink dashboards

This cluster consists of self-hosted applications that repurpose idle Kindle e-readers as wall-mounted e-ink dashboards, displaying glanceable widgets like weather, calendar, and progress tracking. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. Among traction leaders, dashink leads with 11 stars, while the other dated members show no activity signal.
