PaperTTY – Python module to render a TTY on e-ink
- sebslomski 8y agoI would love to have something like this in front of every meeting room at work displaying the occupancy of the current day.

- konschubert 8y agoYou seem to know the market a bit. Can I buy an e-ink device that I can hang on the wall or put on the table and that will display today's appointments from my calendar for me?
- gammatrigono 8y agoYou can do this with a rooted Kindle: https://lifehacker.com/add-weather-and-google-calendar-information-to-your-kin-1215852264 https://lifehacker.com/add-weather-and-google-calendar-infor...
- konschubert 8y agoBut this doesn't automatically update itself, no?
- pmorici 8y agoFound it, the Google project was called Radish there was a write-up about it in 2008 https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/radish https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/radish
- madenine 8y agoWe do this with old kindle fires. Works OK
- pvg 8y agoAren't all of those non-e-ink?
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoCrestron has a lineup that does this. You can make on the spot reservations without having to meddle with Outlook. https://www.crestron.com/en-US/Products/Control-Surfaces/Touch-Screens/Medium-Touch-Screens/TSS-752-B-S https://www.crestron.com/en-US/Products/Control-Surfaces/Tou...

- IshKebab 8y agoThere are many many products that do this. They're all crazy expensive though and they generally use LCD tablets. The ones we've had at the last two companies I've worked at were battery powered and lasted for a day - somebody has to go around and swap them over once per day. I agree an e-ink solution would be much better but then these companies would have to do their own hardware since nobody sells e-ink tablets with a proper OS and they're way too niche to do that.
- amatix 8y agoOnyx Boox series run Android (some old, some new), and go up to 13” in size.
- madsohm 8y agoHerman Roebbers talked about this [1] at a conference earlier this year, together with the fact that the displays and what drives them have to be interconnected and low power.

- messe 8y agoIs anyone aware of a netbook-form device with an e-ink display? I've always felt that'd be my ideal device for writing on-the-go; especially if it'd run vi, nvi or vim.

- craftyguy 8y agoThat's not at all what they are asking for. The e-ink 'display' is the keyboard, not the display for term/graphics. Also: > Memory: 4GB RAM Why do laptop manufacturers insist on being stuck in 2005?
- PeCaN 8y ago>Why do laptop manufacturers insist on being stuck in 2005? why does running apps these days require 16GB because developers insist on using as much RAM as possible
- sambull 8y agoAbstraction
- Erlich_Bachman 8y agoBecause RAM is cheap, and human developer/testing time is expensive.
- shakna 8y agoRAM is only cheap if your consumer can actually run your product. As manufacturer's have decided 4GB is good enough for most people... Maybe the developer is the problem.
- jonnycomputer 8y agoDemo-ing with nethack gets my +1, regardless. Anyway, I love e-ink. Love it.
- peterkelly 8y agoI realise it isn't exactly the same thing, but it feels like we've finally come full circle :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleprinter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleprinter
- therein 8y agoThis looks really nice. I have been working on something that might perhaps be of interest to you. https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable I would love it if someone built a terminal emulator using it. All the pieces needed to achieve that is already in place.
- dev_dull 8y agoI think this is a great idea! Small (3x6”) e-ink displays are now widely available on alibaba and eBay. I’m very weary about the refresh rate. The ones I see available now look like 6s total refresh by the looks of them.
