A fair amount of tinkering needed, but a raspberry pi + display can accomplish this if you don’t need the voice assistant.
(Spoiler alert, he uses Dakboard)

No voice assitance needed! Thanks Ill look into this
Another DIY option to look at is Mycroft. They used to sell devices, but they've since stopped all development as of 2023. There's likely still a community tinkering away, so I'd imagine you could still run your own if you wanted.
Thanks for the advice!
Maybe something like the seeedstudio sensecap indicator?
There is only the 4" version right? I was looking for a bigger old day Kitchen calendar sized tool. But thanks for your idea :)
To the best of my knowledge, that's the only one they have.
nextcloud comes to mind, but don't know what alexa show is
I dont know exactly too what the alexa show really is, to be honest. But my friends are using it mostly as a digital display for their synchronized calendars and the weather forecast. Like a paper based family planer and a weather station for your kitchen. Yeah, i can do it paper based too. But Im way to lazy to keep a calendar up to date with all this daily tasks in modern family life. :)
yeah, that's nextcloud. but how do they input data? I guess its touch based, but is it a touch screen with on-screen keyboard (an android tablet with a web browser could replace that) or do they use a pen, or voice, or something else?
They only showed the voice-controll once. But for me, a input possibilty wouldnt be needed much. It shall just show our calendar, the clock and the weather forecast (: Probably would an old (forked)android tablet be enough. Ill look into this
