I don't really want an e-ink "monitor" as that does not really play into the advantages of an e-ink display. By the time the e-ink display is uprated enough to act as a monitor It feels like a lot of the advantages of e-ink are lost and the display server does not really downrate enough to utilize e-ink's strength.

But an e-ink "terminal" would be nice, not an actual tty but something more like a tablet form factor that has a few buttons, little to no internal smarts and you can push images to it.

Funnily you're describing https://usetrmnl.com/ which also happens to be pretty hacker friendly.

we (TRMNL) have a monitor demo, and we also bought a few of the new Modos project, rooting for that creator.

see our demo here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qs7JeK11Cxc

Until now, I had resisted the urge to order one

But now that they have a bigger version, with controls and a clear case...

I'm not sure that I should be thanking you for making me spend money!

		Yeah... I bought the regular version a few months before the bigger one was announced. Now I kinda want it but can't really justify it at this point. It's a cool product though and a lot of the code is open source or has open source alternatives (e.g. the official backend is not but they have sponsored the development of open source alternatives so that if they go out of business or something you can host your own backend).

		No HDMI is really sad. This means there are probably closed source drivers. Linux is not mentioned as supported, so I suspect crapware.
