I updated the link with an unofficial response...

Citation of the first sentence from the link I posted: "Watchy is an open source eink watch, with open hardware and software"

It is painful, but it's not all lost. First, the 2.0 watchy that can be bought on aliexpress is pretty good already and I'm not comfortable with posting this for I think obvious reasons, but I'm working on an ideal watchy for me: https://github.com/Szybet/Yatchy It won't be a commercial product or anything, it will be just a perfect watchy for people who want something better than 2.0

The Watchy exists ;D

Look up your local 3d printer community

• The seller on aliexpress will probably have in the future usbc version with cnc case

My github has a repo explaining it all, username is the same.

SQFMI Watchy exists... And has a chinese supplier now which doesn't suck

The community is also active, recently a few from ground up firmwares have appeared

Fully custom software

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

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

Some kindles are locked up on cpu level for no reason - fuck amazon

Apart from that, nothing really. Most often people just start to port devices, we help them and one day they dissapear wasting our time and effort :(

3 devices are being currently ported, anyone who has a ereader can come in and try to port it. Only time is needed, we can help with the rest.

The only device that we couldn't port was the first sony ereader because some weird cpu watchdog ressetted the device after boot - so our knowledge was limited on a complicated device

The device also needs kernel sources to be released for it, but kobo and kindle do release them ( sometimes after complaining ) so thats fine too
