A tablet that has similar screen properties to eink but with a backlight and 60fps would be much more usable, especially at night.

#32Hi yall, founder of Daylight here. Happy to answer any questions you have. Long time lurker, so this is pretty cool to finally take part :) I made this because I wanted the eye-strain free and minimalist qualities of my kindle/Eink applied to so much more of what I do on a computer. Lack of speed and ghosting felt like it made traditional Eink impossible to do most computing tasks. So we focused on making the most Pa…
A "calm" computer interface is such a welcome idea and quality pursuit
Participating in the good of the digital world - information access, communication, creativity
While mitigating the bad - always on notifications, bio-hostile blue light interface, doom scrolling etc
I hope that this V1 release of your philosophy is successful enough to keep building
To that end what are your long term goals / plans?

A few Questions: Why is it black and white? Does the Image stay the same when the device is off? What is the surface like for the Pen? Is the Display recessed so there's parallax between pen and Display or is it laminated like an iPad? How is the repairability? Can the battery be replaced easily? How is software support going to be? Since I'm supposed to link all kinds of cloud accounts to it, I would not buy this without a statement regarding security updates and support lifetime.
Looks cool though! [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0TcGjzKbag

#37It’s funny that Tech is the source of and solution to all of our problems. But my real critique is that all portable devices these days are around $1000 dollars. I’m sure this display makes the device expensive, why can’t we just have a more humane workflow in our current devices instead of buying a new device?

The website mentions 60hz, will it also support 120hz?

#39Android 13 with 8GB RAM. I'm not familiar with the MediaTek Helio G99 CPU. Will this perform well or just be another underpowered tablet for $800?
> 2x Arm Cortex-A76 up to 2.2GHz > 6x Arm Cortex-A55 up to 2.0GHz > LPDDR4X > Arm Mali-G57 MC2 Not great, not terrible. I'd say lower middle class phone, roughly equivalent to the Snapdragon 680. The real question is longterm software and security support. I'd bet good money this will se one android update and security patches late or never at best.
