Project update 7 of 11

Together, We’ve Reached Our Goal

by Alexander S

We’ve met and exceeded our funding goal. We’re now 128% funded! This milestone is the result of so many contributions: every backer, every share, every question, and every bit of feedback helped get us here. Thank you for believing in us and helping push this project forward.

We were recently featured in IEEE Spectrum and Hackaday, check out the articles if you haven’t already.

From September 18–21, we’ll be at Design Shenzhen, an event that combines consumer technology and interior design. We’ll have our own table to showcase what we’ve been building and connect with designers and technologists. Come by and say hello!

With just seven days left in the campaign, now is the time to back the project if you want to be among the very first to receive a kit. Pre-orders will remain open after the campaign ends, but backers get priority on the first production run.

What’s Next

With the campaign fully funded, here’s our current status:

We’ll share more updates as progress continues, especially as we get closer to shipping the first units.

Community Spotlight

In this update, we’re highlighting Inkredible, a community member who has been building his own board and chassis from scratch, working to improve color accuracy on his e-paper screen. Check out his website and his work, below:

Get Involved

Open hardware isn’t just about publishing schematics. It’s about building and learning together as a community. Every question, idea, or demo adds to something bigger than what any single person can.

Here are some of the ways you can get involved now:

In the meantime, stay connected with the community on Discord, Matrix, or follow us on Mastodon. It’s a space to share ideas, ask questions, and explore what’s possible together.

¡Chao y hasta la próxima!
