What are the current market options for e-ink /displays/devices that you could program on/ that you know of and (don't?) recommend ?

I personally use a Remarkable 1 with yaft (1) as a terminal. I connect via ssh to a tmux session for editing and the response is fast enough.

I’m doing the same, though I had to fork Yaft to get a bigger font.

[celie56]

Do you mind sharing your fork with the font change? I tried to get a font that supports other characters but the mkfont_bdf tool didn't like the files I fed it.

[ozzydave]

Here's a font that worked for me: ```curl -Lo spleen-16x32.bdf.bdf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fcambus/spleen/master/sple...```

Added a Dockerfile to make the build easier here: https://github.com/DaveHarrington/rM2-stuff

Don't let the .cpp file extensions fool you, its c.

I got a Boox note air 2. It's an e-ink device/android tablet/e-reader/note-taking.

You can install any app on this device. I find it's acceptable to code with web-ides like replit.com. But my main usage is reading and note taking.

There is the PineNote [1], don't have one but do have the equivalent SBC.
