I can't believe there's no simple e-ink chess board in market.
I've replaced all endless scroll apps with Chess.com. I love the headspace chess (even poorly) puts me in, but I dislike being attached to my phone to do it.

I'm attempting to explain to kid 1 that she was once as small and perfect as kid 2. Then she grew and surprised and delighted us at every stage, and we have that same journey with little brother ahead.
She's not impressed and just wants to know if she's getting a bike for her birthday.

DAI getting hollowed out from a pegged stablecoin to a USDC wrapper really bothers me.
