So far 100% of HN articles re: E Ink contain a comment like this. Sadly it is highly unlikely that you will get something like this at an acceptable price point. We ( https://www.visionect.com/ ) have been making non-ebook ba

They would drop the price if there was a large enough volume play behind it. Do you think they don't want to make money?

The components cost too much. Perhaps if this was some open source play where everybody did everything for free. We tried different pricing, different positioning and we could not breakthrough into large volumes with a platform play. Everyb

Chicken and the egg? You need high volumes to drop the price and you can't get high volumes with high price. The E Ink technology has a lot of downsides compared to OLED and LCD, such as update speed, limited colors,... We ( http:&#x2F

Yup. We did get a lot of that with our meeting room solution. We'll be expanding the feature set over the near future, to entice home users to go for something like this even with a price tag of 250.

We've seen a resurgence of eInk device related threads on HN and that got us thinking if we can respond to some of the requests of the people in the comments by providing a devices for that purpose. We've just launched Joan Home -

What? :) I hope the OP writes a book with zero changes to his writing style. OP, please write that book / collection of stories. Loved reading this, it makes me appreciate the culture and quality of work we have in our company.

What about: - Asking them why did you pick X? (here you might get an answer why you didn't pick Y) - Telling them that you tried Y and it worked for you. So it's understanding their process and sharing your experience. I think in

Starting with "X is a Dick" will be less effective than "I'm having problems delivering, can you please help me - looks like my manager is running me to the ground". Thats all I'm saying. You're probably m

Look, I'm not here to sugarcoat it. It's clear that it is in my interest to get the dysfunctions reported. But you really are projecting or something in the second part of the reply. The OP took time and opened a thread on HN with

It benefits both. Me, as a founder, will get an insight into what is happening and I can implement policies / work to change the culture / fire people in order to make it right. There is a clear incentive for me, since a functioni

Went to check the landing page, looks nice. Does not answer why I would choose this over all the other 1000000 of CRM offerings (just in our office we tried Zoho, Close.io, Salesforce, Pipedrive,....). Plus, not fully sold on the "Buil
