it's my favorite computer reader, which does exactly what you describe. don't personally know what the android experiences is though.

edit: just tried it, works pretty good. it's also on f-droid.

not sure what the difference between mini and viewer is though:

@hi FBReader (https://fbreader.org) might be close to what you're looking for.

koreader feels like the best of them all. it just has so many options that configuring it feels like a full-time job

@mihaip @twvd does this mean it supports the MOOF disk image format?

@hi einkbro is an android app you can sideload on the supernote

i use an ergodox keyboard with mine + termux + vim to create a low eyestrain terminal as well... there's a lot you can get done with a simple black and white browser and a term!

@hi

Can you compile chawan browser for it? While I've not used it, I have an eink using friend who really likes it.

@hi ugh, yeah, I also mostly been street charging not just because our 10A grid link can *either* heat the house or charge the car, but not both -- but also because prices been so bad, it's cheaper to just charge on a street charger o_O

Interesting.

Elvis is a decent replacement, its GUI mode is quite nice plus it is lighter than #vim. Yes there are things #vim can do that Elvis cannot not, but Elvis GUI has a couple of modes that #vim does not. Like man mode, html mode and hex mode.

Outside of being in #OpenBSD packages it is also in #NetBSD pkgsrc. But one note, its GUI mode has issues with Fluxbox, but works fine in other window managers. This screen shows how I set up the GUI:

@hi +1

Kinda fed’up but can’t not do it. The window manager, the editor, the mail client, the colorscheme, the OS, the hardware… and the worst is "I wan’t a single one to rule them all".

I think it always happened. I mean not yet another “social networks ruins your life and your brain”. So I just try to settle down from time to time with a "ok, what’s the next valuable thing that needs to be done now!" I doesn’t always work… look at the E-Ink Xresources screenshots 🤣

@hi yeah, i think i'm at the point where i only switch tools when i need to and like once a year i spend some time looking at other options. i used to spend a lot more time switching tools.

@mntmn ooooh

@mntmn yay! If I ordered a raw hyper last week when do you think I might get it?

@mntmn
Are you shipping by color? (Mine is raw, eventually to be painted and bestickered)

@hi wifi hostap (performance) might be an issue, not sure about drivers for LTE/5G modules. can't imagine the other points being terrible. battery life might be suboptimal but okay would be my guess.

@hi a few of the gl.inet devices can run openbsd! WiFi is probably spotty tho

@hi Doesn’t look that far fetched:

• lte/5g

USB dongle? Bit of hand wave here, I don’t know what’s OpenBSD support in this area

• wifi access point ✅

Assuming compatible usb dongle

• with full control over dhcp server ✅

• wireguard ✅

• battery powered

Raspberry PI + battery, reading battery status probably not supported by OpenBSD but shouldn’t be too hard to read what the hat sends through gpio

@hi How do you change the font size and light/dark mode?

@hi I don't think so :(

I just checked and cpmdroid uses claude.

@hi wait what, Termux now? FFS!! I knew Termius had swallowed the poison pill already so that's not an option. JuiceSSH was good but it's no longer being developed. Ugh.

@hi have you tried the aosp terminal app?

System > Developer options > Linux development environment > (Experimental) Run Linux terminal on Android

i believe currently it's just a debian vm, so not a direct alternative to termux.

@mntmn Done. Thanks for the heads up. I did my best to make a case.

@mntmn Done! Thanks for raising attention to the survey :]

@hi If you need a solar-powered watch, Casio is a good choice.

@hi hm, the Pomera doesn't have eink it seems, otherwise it looks really nice and can run OpenBSD https://jcs.org/2026/04/09/openbsd-dm250 - but it doesn't seem to be easily obtainable. There are more devices of this kind at https://www.writerdeck.org/

@hi have you seen this? NetBSD on the Pomera DM30 https://f.duriansoftware.com/@joe/117584169938453318

@joe passes the sniff test

@joe nice. Difficult to get NetBSD running? Anything not working?

@neauoire can it be an amen break?

@hi it's not impossible ✊️ you can do it
