In plain words
E-Paper Life Organizer with Pico and Inky Frame is a battery-powered desktop display built with a Raspberry Pi Pico and e-paper screen that shows a calendar and to-do list. Users can connect their Google Calendar or other iCal-compatible calendars, and link their Todoist account for task management. The display updates every 30 minutes while in deep sleep mode to conserve battery. The full source code is available on GitHub and can be customized to show either the calendar, to-do list, or both.

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
