Has anyone tried Inkbox?

I’d never even heard of it before, but it sounds hella interesting! I’d like to know more as well.

As is customary with absolutely every single device and non-device in existence, the developer has made it run DOOM.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): piped.video/watch?v=xb-FgfQZEUM

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

If anybody is curious on why the screen is flashing like that, E-readers are basically etch-a-sketches and it must shake (or in this case apply a charge to the particles) to remove the previously drawn frame. Then, the next frame can be drawn.

Probably easier to play Doom on a kobo than an oscilloscope!

I just ordered myself a Kobo Libra 2, was hoping to run Inkbox on it but I see it’s not supported yet. I’ll just have to wait!

I posted a deep dive in the original thread discuss.online/post/5399506

I, the second developer made it, but doom is old now. Now we watch youtube on it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRqquXvsR1Q :D

Oh wow! The refreshrate on that is surprisingly fast! Is this via VNC or is the processor on that device just that speedy?

Fully custom software

That’s really cool! I have to see what type of Kobo reader I have because this feels like a weekend project.
