Do you have any blog post, video or anything that shows how to build your project?
unfortunately no, but hardware wise a exact copy of this: https://github.com/lmarzen/esp32-weather-epd

except for the wemos lolin c3 pico, very tiny esp

I have a couple of lolin boads as well I am using for development. The firebeetle board that is linked is hands down the best esp32 board due to the voltage regulator.

In hibernation with only the RTC clock running I believe it only consumes 0.008mA which is coin cell worthy with a < 1% duty cycle. With the wemos boards my lowest is around 3-4mA which is still fine but considering price is the same I would recommend the firebeetle ones.

oh, and the data i display on mine gets fetched from my homeassistant
