E-ink screen challenges

The more I work on building Daptar (दप्तर), the more I realize how prohibitive building in the consumer electronics space really is. The entry barriers are insane, not just the capital requirements, but access itself. Access to talent, to quality components, reference work, to cutting-edge tech, and as a

A Pre-Milestone Update: Daptar (दप्तर)'s prototype hardware is almost ready!

It took around a week to hand-assemble approximately 400 tiny (1mm) individual components. I ran some basic tests on the hardware, and most functionality appears to work as expected, with minor, non-critical issues. These issues are not blocking immediate progress. Built four custom PCBs: 1. A carrier board for the
