Tesserae is a self-hosted dashboard server for e-ink displays that lets users compose tile-based dashboards in a browser and push rendered frames to multiple panels via MQTT or HTTP. It stands out by combining a modern, plugin-based architecture with broad hardware support (including repurposed Kindles) and a focus on privacy, making it a compelling open-source alternative to proprietary e-paper display solutions.

Target audience: devops, makers, hardware enthusiasts
