Design Advice: Building an IoT News/Social Media Ticker Screen (Storify News/RSS Aggregator)

Hello Community,

I am working on an IoT hardware project aimed at building a standalone desktop display (or smart home gadget) that aggregates and streams live updates, news feeds, and social media summaries (similar to the concept of curated Storify News website stories).

I want to implement this using a low-power microcontroller (like an ESP32 or a Raspberry Pi Pico W) paired with an e-Paper/e-Ink display to preserve battery life.

I have a couple of hardware engineering questions:

What are the best practices for power management and deep-sleep states when a device needs to wake up every 15–30 minutes via Wi-Fi to fetch text/JSON news payloads?

Are there specific display driver ICs or e-ink modules that play most nicely with Azure IoT Hub or Azure Sphere if I want to scale this into a secure, managed device?

I would love to hear any recommendations on component selection or power-saving schematics. Thanks!
