> says Modos cofounder Wenting Zhang

I am absolutely not surprised to see his name behind this startup. I've been following his work for years at this point; his YouTube channel has always deeply impressed me, and he's done wonderful open source work in the realm of E-paper for quite some time now.

Kudos to him, and I wish him all the best.

The article doesn't even touch on what I think is one of the coolest features: the ability to change update modes locally in subregions of the panel. And even better, they're already working on integrating that with the Wayland Content Type Hint protocol to let the compositor automatically pick the right mode for a given application for you, which then would work even if multiple applications are on the screen[0].

Yes, this is one of the areas I’m most excited about; it makes e-ink more practical for everyday use and opens the space for experimentation. In the long run, as the community grows and more people get involved, we’ll see even more possibilities.
