I was looking for something like this. But the API looks not so good. I always dreamed of something like this that has an API where I can send html to render and completely locally.

Creator here. I plan to support HTML rendering but I can't promise anything.

You can already point it to an image url with an image in the right resolution on the internet, and it will render that.

But for pointing it to an HTML page, you need a headless browser and that comes with a bunch of practical issues.

Neat device!

I don’t see any obvious answer for this, but how often does it query / refresh the image URL?

I’m thinking of writing some script to just push an updated image to something like https://example.com/dashboard.png every 15 minutes or so.

It will refresh within a minute or two of you pushing the updated version.
How about an android ebook?
