I did a similar thing as a web page an eInk tablet. What doubled the value for me though was adding a weather widget to the corner. It shows me:

* the current temperature

* the high or low over the next 12 hours

* graphical forecast of the 12 hours (including chance of precipitation)

which is all the info I need to know to dress for wherever I'm taking the bus to. You can get all this info (including graphics!) from weather.gov DWML, e.g. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.7143&lon=-7...
