It would be nice for e-ink to eventually get better contrast than this: https://daylightcomputer.com/_next/static/media/split-compar...

Will I be able to install LineageOS on this - as I do on all of my devices ?
yes! we're going to come out with a bootloader unlock tool as well so you can do whatever you want our goal is to be DIY friendly, so we included things i've always wanted in a tablet like: - microSD card expandable - pogo pins for custom accessories (ie cyber deck FTW) - 2 extra physical buttons you can custom map
Oooh nice !
You have one more customer

#153Hi 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…
Sell me a massive desktop e-ink display with USB-C input. I want to code on this.

#154I was just trying to order one. But only available to ship to a limited list of countries.

At this price point, I'd much rather have an portable e-paper external display at a cheaper price. Seems quite underpowered
Indeed! A Waveshare portable e-ink monitor is $499.99 for the 10.3" size, almost identical to the Daylight's 10.5" display. The external display would also outlast this tablet device for sure. And if I'm reading the MediaTek Helio G99 specs correctly, it seems to have similar raw performance to a Raspberry Pi 5. One could easily put together a little "productivity PC" using a Pi (or a Windows mini PC), a power bank,…
if you make something comparable for $729, i will buy it from you x 10
not kidding
its hard to get things made at low batch sizes with good economics!
(third party video based reviews coming in the weeks ahead! youtubers hopefully will actually reply to us now after the attention of this launch)
PS this review does a good job of describing the perf / tradeoffs of the G99 https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaomi-Redmi-Pad-review-Afford...
we're gadget nerds, its not as bad as you think :)
in fact, no early users have complained about performance at all, either to us or on twitter
we're open to feedback on how to improve the next gen! all we ask is to judge based on actual performance on intended workloads and not specs nor crysis lol

#156@boochiboo12 Looks like a really interesting device! I have one question about one of the taglines on the home page "A distraction free space". What are the things inherent to the OS that make it distraction free? Is it Android with notifications ripped out?
the simplest mod is notifications off by default
but we've got a bunch of things in the pipeline also
for example, one sec like 'app delaying / intentional friction' functionalities built into the OS

Can you make a screen to replace the one from Gameboy using your technology?
Re: Daylight Computer – New 60fps e-paper tablet
#158I am not an Android user, but I primarily rely on a cross-platform note taking app that supports Android. Does Android with this device support OS-native OCR to convert writing to text? I'm curious if this is usable with Standard Notes. I currently own and use a reMarkable 2 daily, and then transcribe notes to Standard Notes when I'm near my computer. Would love something that lets me skip the transcription step with…
standard notes has an android app you could use!

and we're working on OS level native OCR
in the meantime you could use myscript nebo

As one of the beta testers, let me just say that I really like this device. It's very different than a kindle, kobo or reMarkable in that the refresh rate really makes a big difference. When I show this device to people, I show them how quickly zooming in on a PDF is. It's way faster and more responsive than any e-ink screen and it's way less addicting than the typical laptop, phone or tablet.
I'm attempting to make this device my main driver over the next few months and while the ecosystem isn't exactly mature yet, most android apps just work out of the box and I've found myself doing a lot more reading, either through an e-reading app (Lithium), PDF reader or Instapaper. I have X, Primal, Telegram and many other apps installed, but I don't go to them nearly as much. The device really is a lot more human centered and it makes for a much more intentional device.

What connectivity will it have? Specifically asking about iCloud and Dropbox...
It sounds like it can run any Android app, so Dropbox should definitely work.
