I made a custom TRMNL plugin to tell me whether it’s worth taking the telescope up! (lemmy.world)

Nice! Which model of eink display is that?

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It’s the TRMNL. I plan to share my plugin eventually too, but need to develop a few different layouts for different display options before I can submit it, so it’s just a private plugin for now.

Ah ok. I wasn't aware it was a product - my bad! Looking for a good eink display for a project lol.

Never heard of it but poking around their website it looks interesting; how do you like it?

I like it a lot! As a software developer that stares at LCD screens all work day, I’m really into e-ink/single-purpose tech outside of work. I found their UI framework docs for custom plugins a bit lacking, but eventually got everything working.
