minus-squareChurbleyimyam@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoThis looks like an awesome project! I have a Kobo Clara HD which I would love to run an open OS on. My priorities would be: Being great for reading books, including having a dark mode Supporting adjustment of colour temperature of the backlight Being able to run syncthing on it. If I could have all the above (and also install CherryTree notes) I would probably throw away my phone!
minus-squareSzybet@discuss.onlineOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoWe have koreader which has dark mode Both our software and koreader support it ( maybe an update would be needed, idk - easy to add ) Syncthing is a user app already We have feathernotes which is simmilar to cherry notes - only usb keyboard tho There is an experimental image for the clara hd but eink performance is not great. Maybe you could help with testing? Idk
