What are the current market options for e-ink /displays/devices that you could program on/ that you know of and (don't?) recommend ?

I got a Boox note air 2. It's an e-ink device/android tablet/e-reader/note-taking. You can install any app on this device. I find it's acceptable to code with web-ides like replit.com. But my main usage is reading and note taking.

I personally use a Remarkable 1 with yaft (1) as a terminal. I connect via ssh to a tmux session for editing and the response is fast enough. 1. https://github.com/timower/rM2-stuff/tree/master/apps/yaft https://github.com/timower/rM2-stuff/tree/master/apps/yaft

  I’m doing the same, though I had to fork Yaft to get a bigger font.

    Do you mind sharing your fork with the font change? I tried to get a font that supports other characters but the mkfont_bdf tool didn't like the files I fed it.

      Here's a font that worked for me: ```curl -Lo spleen-16x32.bdf.bdf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fcambus/spleen/master/spleen-16x32.bdf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fcambus/spleen/master/sple...``` Added a Dockerfile to make the build easier here: https://github.com/DaveHarrington/rM2-stuff https://github.com/DaveHarrington/rM2-stuff
