Below are the details and products I used for this project:

The hardware used was:

1. Pi Zero W (I bought it used from ebay: ~8 USD) 
2. e-Ink Display (~45 USD) 
3. Office Depot Battery (~2 USD)
4. Wooden Structure (Got few items from Michael's and a close friend helped me design it: ~10 USD)

Software:

1. NodeJS (Backend)
2. SQLite (DB)
3. Bootstrap (Frontend)

Every day at 7:00 AM (EST) the device will pull fresh motivational images from Reddit/Imgur. The device will show each image every 5 minutes. The web application allows you to review, reload or delete images. It also serves as a dashboard to list the total images for the day.
