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

Huge congrats! I've been dreaming of something like this for a while - instant pre-order!
your support means everything! thank you! i wish people could understand how hard it is to survive low volume novel consumer electronics.. not meant to solicit pity, but to appreciate why we're all just stuck with big tech after indie company after indie company fail
I hope things go well for you. These are the kinds of devices I want to become mainstream.

#206I've been dreaming of a device like this to run Obsidian on. I made an e-ink theme for Obsidian[1] but the refresh rate and ghosting of e-ink makes it less appealing to work with. I am curious to see if this device will solve some of those issues. [1] https://minimal.guide/features/eink
we have a couple units set aside for devs to optimize their apps to the daylight, email me and we can try to get you one! many of our early testers / customers loved using it as an obsidian typewriter anjan 'at' daylightcomputer.com
Edit: I see elsewhere in this thread that it’s android. If I can adb shell into it and push my own custom launcher to it, I’ll buy one today :)

#208Hi 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.

What about computer screens?
And a color version?
For background I have a boox max, a dasung 253 bw and dasung color 253. Happy to spend even more money on a new generation of devices.

Any plans for color? I know it'd be a sacrifice of brightness. I'm still interested despite the limitations.
