I found a grail tinkering device. (!!!!!)

- $150 fully assembled e-ink display, 3 month battery life
- Very accessible ecosystem for plugins (use UI or write HTML)
- Use their web server or host your own
- Docs for rolling your own hardware
- Free and open source firmware and web server

psyching to see what y’all get up to with these

Oh damn they're back in stock! Last I checked it was backed up quite a bit, definitely snagging one

I use it to show prices on some stock and tokens I’m monitoring. Package delivery. YouTube audience data, website data, f1 races, weather home&work, calendar/meetings

I’ve been having a blast with mine, still playing with it

I loved loved loved my Pebble and wore it until it died.

Same!!!

*gets a kindle paperwhite in 2012* we need more e-ink devices

*gets a pebble watch on sale in 2018* we need more e-ink devices

*orders a trmnl in 2025* we need more e-ink devices

I’ve always been attracted to the aesthetic of eink

Snagged one of these e-ink dashboards for my kitchen (family schedules, daily info) and it has been awesome. 

Really affordable single purpose hardware can be better than multipurpose touch devices.

I think I am the first Farcaster user to post about it actually... https://farcaster.xyz/ckurdziel.eth/0x598c326e

Trendsetter!!

Also the first thing that came to mind was the aranet when I saw the full screen redraw and the long battery life 😆

This device is absolutely Farcaster coded.

I have one of these, its awesome. Highly recommend

YAY another TRMNL fan 🥹

I'm waiting to hear back for my affiliate code for free developer addon — I've been eager to see a Farcaster plugin get added 👀

I also spoke with Ryan about them releasing a larger TRMNL in the next ~2 months on Kickstarter if you're interested 💜

I don’t want too much. I don’t even want options for too much. Just little pins or tags or dots

I know there's low power color e-ink displays on the market.

I wouldn't be surprised if that goes downstream into a future iteration of this device!

Super cool! My only request is minimal color. Color coding things is my adhd (maybe dyslexic) hack.

My mind goes immediately to family calendar synced via Google/iOS Calendar in a shared space like the fridge!

It can be scheduled to show different content at different times.

I think rigging something that pulls from my read later articles, gets the takeaways summarized by an LLM, and have it displayed during noon when I have lunch could be a cool way to passively go through my reading list!

Please cast your use cases! It looks so cute and cool.

These are "dumb displays" in that they only have enough smarts to in take an image sent from a server to display. That's it! No touchscreen or sensors of any sort.

Woah, could these be used to hand write notes and export handwritten text to markdown? Perhaps someone has made an app for that, for this device?

Definitely looks cool, and more functional and configurable than some of the other devices I’ve seen
