Nice project.

I did something similar, but with photos. I managed to process everything on the device in 100% golang with imagemagick C-bindings.

As Imagemagick is also able to render text, it might be a solution for you to get rid of the need for an external server. The ARM build process happens on GitHub actions, so you can check it out.

Cool, it looks like your processor is only slight newer then mind and is also on a 32 bit version of ARM so this approach would probably work. I'll keep this in mind for next time mine needs some work.

Really nice project.
