Summary

On February 2nd and 3rd, Shy Ruparel joined me for another Courier and Contentful crossover stream where we played around with an IoT E-ink display to show the latest posts from Contentful and send notifications using Courier. During Tuesday's Contentful Live, we worked with the newly released Adafruit MagTag, a 2.9“ grayscale E-Ink display that can show data on its screen even when power is removed. We used CircuitPython to query the Contentful GraphQL API and retrieve latest blog posts to display on the e-ink screen, and then added the ability to send the displayed blog post to the Show and Tell channel in Courier's Discord Community using the Courier Send API. The full project code is available on GitHub and viewers can check out the videos to see the demo in action.
