#162IMO, the software will be the most important part of the device, not necessarily the screen. What makes the Remarkable great is that it's functionality (while limited) makes for an excellent experience. Any more details on what apps will be built in and designed for the device? (not just 3rd party Android apps that will feel like any other tablet). Also - I would order this immediately to support more e-ink devices,…
KOReader is great for Eink devices. I used it both on my Remarkable and Kindle. It's made for paper like displays. It already has an android version.

#163Hi 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…
What if I want this display tech but just as a monitor to use with my existing setup for doing engineering work? (E.g. emacs, tiling window manager, etc.) The device as it's presented looks like a consumption device ("tablet" etc), but tech like this seems like it'd be most useful for a production device (general purpose computing device, programming/development tools). I'd like the display, but uncoupled from the li…
There are a few techniques for using an Android device as a second monitor. I assume those would also work for the Daylight Computer.

#164Why?! The point of eink is that it's slow refresh.

#165I 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! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.standardno... and we're working on OS level native OCR in the meantime you could use myscript nebo https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myscript.n...
It looks like Nebo is an alternative note-taking app? I will email the Standard Notes dev team and see if they are planning to do the lift for OCR on this type of device. I see upthread someone has mentioned Obsidian will do so.

#166Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can I run my own software on it? I would love to buy an epaper portable of some sort, but the fact that they're all locked down is a no go. One day I'll live my dream of vim in the forest grove.
yup yes, we will release a bootloader unlock tool so you can do whatever you want
If you really do this it would be a fantastic incentive for me. Just knowing the community can tinker makes a product feel more my own rather than "rented" like some systems out there.

#167Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have a hard time getting a sense of what the display is really like from the website and the embedded video (it cuts too quickly, uses depth of field shots of the tablet, etc). Given that this is all about a new display, it would be nice to show a more pragmatic demo video right upfront. A demo that gives a clear look at how the display behaves with respect to lighting, reflections, animation, touch screen, etc. Th…

#168It would be nice for e-ink to eventually get better contrast than this: https://daylightcomputer.com/_next/static/media/split-compar...
our contrast can vary depending on the lighting envrionment, its the nature of non lambertian reflective displays with optical gain
most of the time its pretty good!
in dimmer environments, you can boost contrast by boosting the backlight a bit

I've been impressed with the Kindle Scribe I recently got. The drawing and note taking is really nice. However, you have to email yourself PDFs to get the information out of the tablet!
Will we be able to get data off the tablet easily? Will there be documented APIs or other automation available?
