Mind sharing which website builder you used so I can avoid them like the plague? I see other complaints here, but for me it completely fails to show anything, saying that a client-side error occurred (iOS 16.6.1), in a full-screen modal with text selection disabled.

#332Hi 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…
I pre-ordered! Huge fan and have been checking it out for a while.
My biggest question and use case is about handwritten notes. Like other paper tablets (Supernote, box, remarkable, etc) have custom drawing/writing apps that sync.
I understand y'all have a fancy custom Android OS, but can I expect to see my notes on other devices, and does it have cool features like handwriting to text auto translation, etc?
I'm very excited! I hope I get my daylight soon.

Why did you say "less addicting"?
One common psychological trick addictive social media uses is high saturation color, as it causes our monkey brains to enjoy it slightly more. This is monotone and I’d assume that’s a relevant feature point
Most devices let you enable a monochrome filter and optionally invert the image somewhere in the accessibility settings, for what it's worth. You don't need a special device just for that.

#334A pen-tablet with a transflective display and a commodity OS is very compelling. I've been working for a few years on a "multimedia sketchpad"[0] application with a primarily grayscale UI that screams for a device like this. I imagine the browser port might already work acceptably, but perhaps I'll revisit a native Android port with the Daylight in mind...

Is it possible for end users to deploy their own operating systems and software? And do you make it easy for them to do so? One of my pet peeves about the Android ecosystem is Google's abusive licensing restrictions for their extended service stack prohibiting vendors from distributing their own forks of the base software. This is the sort of device that I'd be interested in from the hardware perspective, but would n…
I bet you could get pretty far with Universal Android Debloater: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater
You can remove just about anything and everything, which is as much a warning as it is a recommendation. Don't use this if you're not ready to reinstall your OS.

I'm not sure if it's mentioned on the site, but one thing I'd really love to see that could well nudge this into the "buy" category for me is some focus on repairability - I'd very much like to be able to swap the screen, battery, board, etc. in case the worst happens, rather than having to junk the whole device.

#337Oddly enough I find having apps (like Spotify) a turn off.
I love my Kindle + it's extended battery life. Navigation is a bit of a pain in the ass, but otherwise I find it really great at just being a light-weight device for reading.
Looks beautiful though (and I found the website to be nice too!)
Re: Daylight Computer – New 60fps e-paper tablet
#338A bit odd on the marketing front. Marketing it as an outdoorsy tablet "sunlight readable" but then won't be available before the summer is over (October+)

> We developed our own custom epaper display tech we call LivePaper. We focused on solving the tradeoffs RLCDs traditionally have - around reflectance %, metallic-look / not Paperlike enough, viewing angle, white state, rainbow mura, parallax, resolution, size, lack of quality backlight, etc. Would you license this to others at a more affordable rate than e-ink? Lenovo has some e-ink 2-in-1 "thinkbook" laptops and mi…
Yes 2-in-1 is very interesting and useful device, the latest one version has color e-ink [1].
For non-color e-ink sporting 60fps display in low-cost laptop with Intel entry level N100 CPU would be awesome as working and learning gadgets, and batteries should last days instead of hours.

Elsewhere in this thread I see comments that mention "low distraction", "calmer", and something about iPhones frying kids' brains. This all looks like snobbery to me, based on the association of monochrome paper with novels and writing and intellectual pursuits. In the 18th century we were scared that novels would fry the brains of young women, but times have changed and now it's iPhones that are sinful, and monochro…
> This all looks like snobbery to me, based on the association of monochrome paper with novels and writing and intellectual pursuits You say it like it is a bad thing. It is associated with novels and writing and intellectual pursuits, because it's less suitable for video/graphics focused social media, videos, and games. > but times have changed and now it's iPhones that are sinful, and monochrome displays are virtuo…
