Hey man, this is so cool. I hope it’s okay to plug here: I am working towards releasing a similar product for sale: https://www.invisible-computers.com/ https

Hey man, this is so cool. I hope it’s okay to plug here: I am working towards releasing a similar product for sale: https://www.invisible-computers.com/ https://www.invisible-computers.com/ Unfortunately the display isn’t as big as the one you chose and it isn’t battery powered. But I am starting to ship the first units, so there is that :)

That's cool. Why not battery powered though? That seems like one of the biggest benefits of e-ink and also a wire coming out of your calendar seems like a pretty huge drawback. Love the wood bezel though; looks really nice.

  If I make it battery powered it needs to run on a charge for a few months, otherwise it becomes a hassle. And then, it must be possible to charge it easily. Also, space. Right now the calendar is 7mm think and I think it won’t look as nice on the wall if I make it much thicker. There are a lot of edge cases to consider. It’s definitely on my wish list but I cut it out for simplicity, for now.

  You weren't lying about being completely off topic.

This looks great! Two questions if i may: 1. Any plans to release some general purpose version of this? Ie i'd love to buy this and hook it up to an HTML webpage i generate or something. Then it's flexible to whatever i want to show on my dashboard. 2. Any plans for how consumers should power this hanging on a wall? Since it's wired it looks like.

  re 1: In principle that’s something that I could enable eventually. It’s a nice idea. I’ll think about it. re 2: There is a standard usb plug at the far end of the cable. It can be plugged into a usb charger.
