A WiFi color eInk picture frame

I love e-ink in general, it's a shame that it's still so rarely used. My fossil hybrid hr watch uses it, for example, but though the watch itself is incredible, the app is pure garbage. If that weren't the case, I'd recommend it to everyone.

I wonder if there aren't a lot more cases like that, where it seems like costumers don't like the technology, even though they mainly resent the paired implementation of the big players who thought that the technology alone was enough of a selling point, and therefore neglected the software.

The problem right now is that while the screens have come down in price considerably, the driver hardware remains expensive and proprietary. If you want to build something for cheap, you'll be designing the PCB from scratch (as this author did).

Enter EPDIY, which brings wide support to a variety of screens using commodity hardware. It's still under development, but it's looking really promising: https://github.com/vroland/epdiy
