Score: 3.8/10 (Innovation: 3, Technical: 4, Documentation: 6, Utility: 2)

Trmnl-cards turns an Xteink X4 e-reader running TRMNL firmware into a rotating display for rare Pokémon card images by pointing it at a custom server. It fetches card data and prices from TCGdex and serves a new card every 5 minutes. The project is a niche hobbyist mashup with minimal technical complexity.

Target audience: hobbyists and Pokémon card collectors with Xteink e-readers
