This 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!
We 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
That sounds really good - well done!
In what way is eink performance not great for the Clara HD?
Sure, I could help testing it. Do you have a download available?
because it's mainline kernel something is broken across kernel -> driver -> fbink -> qt platform plugin and it's slow to draw things on screen. We are looking for solutions and have a few ideas already
