lj·rk@modos I still remember the live demo from FOSDEM two years ago, even then impressive but this is mind boggling. Amazing stuff
@ljrk 😭 ❤️ Thank you for your support! That was my very first FOSDEM and I was super nervous to attend and show people what we were working on. Thank you for letting me show you the live demo!
It's been a long journey with a lot of challenges, and also rewarding seeing people use it, and meeting all of the people I’ve met along the way. Gracias!
@modos But what you could show off was very impressive indeed! Thank you for presenting it so well, and also for the project in general! I'm super glad to see where you are, not only because the product is amazing but also because it's obvious how much it means to you! It's great to see that technological feat and personal goals going hand in hand! :3
@ljrk 😭 Thank you, really, it means a lot. And yes, the project matters a lot to me. There are still many unexplored areas, and that's both challenging and exciting. I can't wait for FOSDEM next year to show where we are and be in community with others! ❤️

Bersl@modos What kind of lifetime do e-ink panels get these days? An hour of strobing at 60Hz (I presume this is the worst-case scenario?) is 216 thousand cycles; a day is 5.184 million. Clearly, real-world use is going to be significantly better than this by a lot, even in the case of something like video, so I wonder whether you or others have run the numbers on something like this and have some semi-realistic estimates.
