I wanted to dust off my old Kobo Glo and build a simple dashboard - displaying time - weather, wind, sunrise/sunset etc.

I know frontend/js the best - so I'm looking for a way to get build a fullscreen web window (perhaps using qt5 webview) and simply loading a page with widgets.

What is the easiest way to do this with all the nice tools there are today? I'm thinking kfmon etc.

Also - in what way can I conserve power as much as possible? Preferably I want to have the whole device off basically - and then power on every 15 minutes to do a page refresh (or js widget refresh) whatever is most energy efficient way.
