Great work on this! I especially appreciate the use of the limited-input device flow, after seeing many device projects that use flows intended for servers :)<p>&gt; Support &amp; configuration for time zones<p>Are you referring to this? [0] Might be out of scope, but from experience, there are some date&#x2F;time conversions that will require the TZ name (e.g., &quot;Europe&#x2F;London&quot;) to avoid needing to know whether to use the offset value or DST offset value. Could be worth including the canonical names [1] in a future revision.<p>Again, awesome work, and it&#x27;s pushing me to try an E-Ink project of my own!<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tikurahul&#x2F;Inkplate-6-micropython&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;utils.py#L88" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tikurahul&#x2F;Inkplate-6-micropython&#x2F;blob&#x2F;mas...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_tz_database_time_zones" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_tz_database_time_zones</a>

Great work! I had been thinking about buying an Inkplate but as a hobby project I had wanted to focus my limited time on the application vs all of the glue (UI, Oauth, etc.). This might be the nudge to move me along. Thanks!

Is that font the highest resolution it can be?
