For the record, so is iced, effectively.
Ah, Cryptowatch, and what do they understand about selling GUIs?
Who's supposed to be selling GUIs here?
Your comment goes against several HN guidelines. As the 15th highest karma on this site, I'm sure you could do better.

It's Kraken, not Cryptowatch, as the latter was acquired. Who's supposed to be selling GUIs here? Your comment goes against several HN guidelines. As the 15th highest karma on this site, I'm sure you could do better.
What I see there is a crypto fund that most likely cares about how iced fits into their own use cases first.
I seldom read those, by the way.
Tangential, how does slint fare compared to Druid/egui(?)
I'm curious as well. My understanding is one notable differencse, exemplified here, is that Slint can work on embedded devices / no-std.

This is awesome! How reliable are kindle jailbreaks/avoiding updates, etc? Have opted for other devices like the xteink (or a boox in the future) due to what seemed like a relatively small ecosystem around “aftermarket” kindle modifications. The kindle would be a great option if it could be reliably jailbroken and loaded with custom software
Worth noting that kobo devices are not locked down at all and run linux. They’re very easy to build for.
It's largely the exact device that I want my book reader to be:
* Small and lightweight
* Nice epaper screen
* No need for an internet connection whatsoever
* Natively understands EPUB
* Just reads books -- no ads, no markets, no apps, no upsell
The built-in Kobo firmware isn't great. IIRC Rakuten/Walmart hoover up and sell your reading habits, etc. Hence one reason why I don't connect mine to the internet (running Plato probably fixes this, but restarting the device doesn't immediately go into Plato). The device is also weirdly sluggish with the default Kobo software, and much faster in Plato.
I jailbroke my kindle a while back and was super excited to do it, but then didn't really do anything past that. Besides de-amazoning it, I found no real value nor supplemental features that were actually worth while. That being said, I don't regret doing it, just kind of wish there was more.

Your answer's tone is weird.
