#662It's not an e-ink display, but rather a monochrome transreflective lcd. [1] [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/1bk294i/comment/kvx17...
Thank you. I still think that calling it e-paper is disingenuous. My initial impression was that this was some e-ink breakthrough, but it's really just a backlit monochrome LCD. I'm not sure how they can claim that it's "non-emissive", when it literally uses a backlight. An LCD with an amber filter doesn't come close to the readability of e-ink, so I'm not sure what advancements they've made to make it feel like "mag…

I read most papers on a secondary 19" monitor that's mounted portrait. Seems to cover all the requirements
Not all ones not mentioned in this thread yet. A secondary 19" monitor ties you to a desk. A tablet would allow reading wherever people typically read paper printouts (in the train, while sitting on a couch, etc.)
You're not wrong. But in those scenarios, I tend to be off the clock

Publishing a sped-up video without telling us that it's sped up really killed all my trust I had in you guys. Seriously, what were you thinking? Your main and only selling point is the speed. So much so that that needs to compensate for lack of other features like resolution and color. And then you open the door to cheating accusations? You can now 100x say that it's really fast and no ghosting and all that, but your…
Killed my trust also, "drowning in launch" is no excuse for not rectifying this immediately. Posting a real-time video right now would take five minutes and clear up all this bad publicity right when they need to.

#665Hi 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…
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.
The HiSense A5, A7 and A9 range of phones could be your answer. Problem is it is a Chinese domestic market phone. A9 does have a GSI of LineageOS with working EINK refresh modes available on XDA so this could be your ticket if the 4G bands are available in your country (basically not the US).
I have an A5 Pro and it works great.

they're coming!! but i appreciate your skepticism until there's more video proof, i am the same too many broken promises by other tech cos, i understand we have to earn your trust there should be more video reviews coming out on twitter though from early customers / testers .. if i wasnt drowning in launch, id try to find you a link, if anyone else could help !
What do you do with all the time you save on capitals and punctuation?
To answer this question as someone who often writes messages the same way… typing that way isn’t actually much faster, but it’s often more enjoyable. It also helps to convey a more informal and relaxed tone.

Lovely product you have there!
I have a love hate relationship with my Remarkable, the distraction free UI fits my brain well, but their complete lack of an API makes it miss the mark of becoming my productivity driver by a light year. Basing your product on Android, I fear the pure distraction free selling point is at risk? How do you see the ecosystem around the device as it mature?
And also, obviously, are you emulating the cloud approach that Remarkable has taken, and if so, will there be an API for me to slip my autogenerated daily schedule on to it? :)

holy moly dude you are articulating our value prop and philosophy even better than we can glad to be on the same team! long term goals/plans - make a whole ecosystem of healthier, distraction free computers.. phones, laptops, monitors, workstations, watches, PDAs, epaper whiteboards, etc - make awesome software that we can offer as public goods, funded by cash flow from hardware and memberships etc - make 'magical an…
Definitely lean into the phrase "calm computer interface" Access to the same stuff as your phone, but chill about it Love the idea of informative ambient objects as well—people love the Standby Mode on iPhones, this sounds like that but better

I need you to tell me. Why are you not selling these as components for others to integrate? If this is truly better, and you hold patents, you would get zillions orders. Every hobbyist under the sun would buy this.
Because that would make it a shit commodity business and you’d have too little value over the manufacturers who would soon cut you out. Why not do it yourself if you think it’s such a great money maker?
If they sell components or monitors then they only have to do one "simple" thing right. If they sell tablets/cellphones/laptops then they have to do a number of more complex stuff well enough that people will consider switching.

Your website does its own "improvements" to scrolling, thus on macOS it feels like I'm scrolling through molasses. It's repulsive even. Please, I beg you, just let the platform do its job. The tablet itself is interesting and impressive. I'm really curious to see that display in action.
The term is “scrolljacking” and yes it’s infuriating.
