hey maybe the kid that made the anyon_e would be inspiring for you!
Here's a couple related videos:
Huge inspiration! I loved the anyon_e videos. He DIY'ed the laptop and made it look really nice.
Depending on what your goals are just adding a Bluetooth keyboard to an Android E Reader gets you 90% of the way there.

I dabbled in hardware and I quickly found you need millions to do anything.
However, this definitely is a market waiting for a product. I’d lean towards looking if you can add a custom screen to the framework laptop.
That’ll be much cheaper to build and easier. I reckon you’d only need a custom Linux driver for the screen.
Thanks for sharing! Agree, building hardware hasn't been the easiest thing.
Interesting, I like the idea of a custom screen on the Framework. I'm sure that may come with its own challenges as well :)
I've been working on an e-ink laptop. I wanted a machine I could stare hours at and feel okay about it. I didn't seem to find a device like that out there.
I'm designing everything from the chassis to the software OS. E-ink has its own design constraints. I'm building 5 apps for it: a browser, reader, mail, writer and code editor. It's still a ways to go. Here's a picture of what I have so far:

Are you talking about the macOS flicker issue on eink? I've heard it was fixed by the Stillcolor app, and there's a video of it fixing the eink flicker issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siufMXZ4tN8&t=17s
I have a 25.3. Flicker issue is real. I’ll have to try this out. Thanks for sharing
That said, a simple hosted demo or code-sandbox would make this easier to demo and test as a user. It'd help to see the expected behavior as well. I don't want to checkout the repo or spin up a sandbox.
