What’s the status on Color e-ink nowadays? Are we far away from that?
I feel like that’s the holy grail, along with true multitouch on one (last I checked all e ink displays were resistive touch displays)
This looks amazing I can think of some really cool applications like a nice PDF reader that formats technical docs correctly What’s the status on Color e-ink nowadays? Are we far away from that?

What would it take to replace the page with a static html page containing basic info and the Youtube video until the HN hug of death settles? 10 minutes of work?
It's frustrating that the website has been down all day, though. Seems kind of odd in the world of Netlify / CloudFlare even if it's been HN'd.... :-/
Here's some hopefully constructive feedback. The RGB LED looks jarring against monochrome e-ink screen. It also gives impression of cheap electronics, and rough 3d printed case doesn't help. The e-ink feels elegant, solid (no flickering) and timeless, while LED is nervous, overly bright and loud. If you really need a LED, put a white one. Maybe try to prototype audiophile hi-fi style case. Something wooden or even bl…
This is a cool idea, but I think the capacitive touch buttons are a mistake. I have two different appliances that have them, and the lack of tactile feedback is really irritating, especially when a button press doesn't result in instant visual/audio feedback from the device. (Makes you wonder whether or not you actually activated the button.) I strongly suggest using actual buttons.
I also really dislike buttons without feedback - you press them, and get nothing back. I often end up pressing them far harder than I probably should; the lack of tactile feedback seems to trick me into doing this.
Sometimes I'm absentmindedly staring at the screen trying to click the desk, because it feels almost the same as the trackpad now.
Tactile feedback is very important!
I really feel like the E-Ink invention has been mismanaged. These things should literally be everywhere by now and performing all kinds of functions. I want one as a second screen and to do most of my development on it. Maybe have a second one for pulling up documentation. Does anyone know why it has taken so long for these to go to market except, basically, for e-readers? Someone I know uses one of these as their ma…
