Open-source Raspberry Pi project

Build the dashboard. Arrange it visually. Send it to e-ink.

Display Hub turns live weather, news, traffic, and market data into a configurable e-ink dashboard through a drag-and-drop web interface.

System at a glance

From browser configuration to physical display​

Display Hub brings interface design, API integration, deployment, and embedded hardware into one end-to-end project.

  1. 01

    Configure

    React + Vite

    Arrange and size modules in the browser-based layout editor.

  2. 02

    Aggregate

    Bottle + SQLAlchemy

    Coordinate configuration and data from external providers.

  3. 03

    Run

    Docker + Nginx

    Package the application into a repeatable deployment.

  4. 04

    Display

    Raspberry Pi + e-paper

    Render the selected information on the connected panel.

Software with a physical result

One screen, composed from independent modules

Users choose the information that matters, arrange it visually, and control how often the display refreshes. The result is a purpose-built dashboard instead of a fixed template.

  • Modular content and layout
  • Configurable refresh intervals
  • Real data rendered on constrained hardware

Live data modules

Useful information, designed for a small canvas

Each integration has its own configuration and output documentation. These are real captures from the connected e-ink display.
