Hi 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…

> And we built a whole android tablet around it. What is the reason it isn't worth your while to sell the display seperately so other devices can be built using it?

Much lower margin if you just sell a component.

Is the source available? Is it locked, or can we use our own firmware?

Aren't there already Android tablets with eink screens?

There are but OP doesn't appear to be using e-ink, it's much too fast to be that. I would guess it's an unorthodox form of LCD display.

It’s reflective LCD (RLCD).

You can see the videos here: https://daylightco.gorgias.help/en-US#article-509983

Thank you! This quick overview is helpful: https://player.vimeo.com/video/922512661

It looks like the speed of the video is at 1.25 or something like that. The hand/finger moves kinda un-naturally. Is it just me?

Either way, it looks great. I do watch some YT vids, but I focus on the audio (i.e. watching some urgent news on Sky News (live) - video detail is not as important when something very bad has happened).

Please, tell me there's a phone coming along. Light Phone made a mistake not going Android. You totally nailed it with that casually dropped Spotify icon in that shot! I personally have zero use for a tablet. But if I can have an eink phone, with all the authentication apps I need to connect to work and do banking (and maps and Spotify), I'll drop that iPhone that is frying the brains of my kids instantly.

They commented on Twitter saying they’ll use profits from the tablet towards making a phone

Can you post a photo or video of a side-by-side comparison of the Remarkable 2 and the Daylight Computer?

Right now it’s hard to actually tell from your marketing materials what the screen looks like
