That's how I think about it too. E-readers are vertically integrated devices: the hardware, software, UI, and refresh behavior are all tailored around reading. E-ink tablets like r…

In normal use, we don't expect fast refresh to significantly reduce an E Ink panel's lifetime. The E Ink material itself is long-lived, the main stress is on the driving electronic…

The stylus solution is provided by E Ink to us. E Ink made the switch from EMR to USI a few years ago, so most E Ink devices, including the Modos Flow are using USI now.

Our driver board works with color e-ink screens.

Yes, this is one of the areas I’m most excited about; it makes e-ink more practical for everyday use and opens the space for experimentation. In the long run, as the community grow…

Yes, that’s the mental model I’ve been working from. Variable refresh tied to user input makes a lot of sense: short bursts of speed for navigation or editing, then settling into a…

We’d like to offer a kit for the MNT Reform, and possibly the Framework, in the future, though it’s not part of our current roadmap.

Thank you!

> Maybe you can optimize many of them away (if some parts of the screen don't move, especially if software was rewritten to optimize for the display). Yes, that’s definitely someth…

I agree with your points. I would add: - Making the project open allows people to reuse displays they already own. - Others can contribute and build on what’s been created. - Open …

Another gameplay video I'd recommend seeing is Blanc: https://www.youtube.com/live/9PAKPfHBa5Q?feature=shared&t=11...

Our driver board, under continuous use, draws about 1 to 1.5W. A recent article below goes into some detail about our design choices. https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-p…

I’d recommend watching the video below, where we talk about how fast refresh affects a panel’s lifespan. https://www.youtube.com/live/okjJURIejIY?feature=shared&t=24...

> How many shades of grey does it support? 16 levels of grayscale support. > How bad is the ghosting? Ghosting depends on the mode you're using and the content. > How white is the …

Thank you for your thoughts and support. I agree, doing this in X11 is definitely doable. I’ve seen others achieve similar results by running a daemon that listens for damage regio…

Can't wait to see what you have in mind ;)

Great! The board uses about 1-1.5W under continuous use with no OS/kernel power optimizations.

Three years ago, I posted about modding a ThinkPad T480 into an e-ink laptop: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26245563 That turned into a community project and eventually into…

Thanks for sharing! Would it be alright if I try it out during our livestream this week?
