The 'Dad Jokes of the Day' template displays a different short joke once a day on an e-paper display. Its collection currently contains 100 jokes, mostly puns and wordplay about everyday life, history, science, mathematics, animals, and more. The creator may add more jokes in the future.
A display that refreshes daily just to deliver another dad joke. A wonderfully low-stakes use of e-paper.
This Fish Does Not Exist is a framed e-paper display that creates textbook-style pages about imaginary fish. Software generates each fish's appearance, while an on-device AI model invents its scientific description. Every few minutes a new specimen appears, drawn stroke by stroke, with its description revealed gradually.
Maker Jim Bruges built it around an Arduino UNO Q and a 7.5-inch e-paper panel. Gemma 3 1B runs locally, so after setup the device can keep producing its fictional field guide without cloud services.
Instead of waiting for scientists to discover a new species, the frame simply invents one. The field guide never runs out of fish.
