Instantly bought this to support your mission A "calm" computer interface is such a welcome idea and quality pursuit Participating in the good of the digital world - information access, communication, creativity While mitigating the bad - always on notifications, bio-hostile blue light interface, doom scrolling etc I hope that this V1 release of your philosophy is successful enough to keep building To that end what are your long term goals / plans?

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 analogue objects' like actually good sunrise alarm clocks, time timers, calendars, habit trackers, better phillip hues, etc

  Wow. Great looking device and great long term vision/mission. As someone who hacked an old Kindle to make a persistent weather display, I am wholly in support of what you're working on.

  Fantastic! I am definitely going to follow you and team with great interest! These ideas are SO needed right now.

  If you stick with an open source ethos and allow anyone to hack and write software for these things... you're going to find a highly devoted niche of lifetime customers. I am one of them. Great work!

  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

  Great work! I've spent the last year listening to parents, teachers, and administrators voice their dreams and issues with technology and I think what you all have done here could add a lot of value in the education (EdTech) market in a few years.
