I thought it was actually paper coding, as many of us learned to do before coding right away into a keyboard.
I am the youngest person I know who programmed on that paper!
If only I could justify the 2k. I feel like life quality would improve significantly if I had this. Do you use another monitor for calls for work?

What difference does it make if they heard of it, or how rare displays are vs pen/paper coding? I imagine most everyone at this point has heard of e-paper and e-ink displays, but the author clearly dropped the "e" to make it sound more intriguing. Would you be asking the same question for a post titled "Drawing with Ink", but it linked you to a page about drawing with an e-ink display? Of course not. It's misleading.
> Would you be asking the same question for a post titled "Drawing with Ink", If it said "coding with ink", yes, I think I just might. Try not to be so triggered. I don't think the author actually was trying to mislead. Of what use would that be? To their non-monetized blog? They're just sharing their happy moment with a "look it's like paper!" kind of vibe. > I imagine most everyone at this point has heard of e-pape…

Your life quality wouldn't improve. It's just a reason to buy new tech that looks cool that so many of us use here.
It's not the paper (and pen), it's some "paper screen" marketing. Thank you so much for misleading me to click your link.
> it's some "paper screen" marketing. Maybe you haven't heard of it before? E-paper (including e-ink) displays are much less rare than actually coding on pen and paper.

It feels like with this monitor the only thing you can really do is a terminal. Would really help with focusing I think. Less colors/distractions. Although I’m sure hn would work fine on it haha

An option might be uninstalling your graphical environment and just using the linux console at e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2. You could disable colors by setting TERM=xterm-mono.
