Handwriting recognition would be a nice feature and could even enable direct messages between the two players!

I disagree - there was plenty of programming fun! My C/C++ was a little rusty and I enjoyed getting the hang of it again. Working so close to the hardware is such a different mindset from my other recent projects, there was so much to learn and I found it very rewarding!
I also just found out that tinygo supports this SoC and even has a driver for the ILI9341!

No idea what IF is in this context :/ Interactive Fiction? Input File? International Fleet? Intermittent Fasting?

True, but e-ink would not be suitable for the collaborative drawing (or 'synchronized chalkboard' as you called it)
OFC, games could come from the IF Archive. Zork I..III can be played as ZDungeon with almost the same content. But I prefer Anchorhead, Spider and Web...
