Even Claude Code agrees with me:

❯ nodejs is hell on earth

● It really is. A shim directory to fix node-gyp's header layout, a symlink to replace a vendored node-gyp that crashes on the system Python, sed injections to declare a dependency the upstream forgot, and now hiding a directory from npm's own pruner because --include=optional doesn't actually include optionals. All to install a JavaScript program.

@trmnl I would like to use https://trmnl.com/font-family for my E-Ink Dashboard, but I can't find a License for the Font.

TRMNL Font Family

A complete specimen for the TRMNL bitmap font family: three sizes, two weights, glyphs, icons, and OpenType details.

I've just released the Home Assistant E-Ink Dashboard in version 0.4.1 with a lot of fixes and features. It should be beta quality and quite usable now. Share your dashboards! 🙂

@cryptomilk Excellent question. Made me realize we never actually documented it 😅 So I did just that, you can find the preview of the docs here https://deploy-preview-3106--developers-home-assistant.netlify.app/docs/core/platform/media_source

Media source | Home Assistant Developer Docs

The media source platform allows integrations to expose browsable and playable media to Home Assistant. Media sources appear in the media browser UI, letting users navigate hierarchical media libraries and play content on media player devices.

I've released version 0.2.0 of the E-Ink Dashboard for Home Assistant. I had a lot of duplicate code PIL renderer in the backend and canvas renderer in the frontend. I found a solution to only have onc: SVG Jinja templates! A browser can display SVG and I can rasterize them for E-Ink Displays. Also the widget are a bit nicer now.
