This is the best for me (pun intended). Less overwhelming than the default front page. And more discussion.

Would love a version of this on HN.

for a slightly different take on the concept

Also, showing the excerpts from the post text is vastly superior to just showing the post titles.

I currently work on a feature to show excerpts (and read time) in the list views as well. But I will wait with the deployment until the Hacker News visitor wave has calmed down.

> and read time

If anything, I would recommend a word count instead.

Word count is objective. Read time is subjective, variable, just an estimate, and probably based on word count anyway.

Aaaand now I'm using OpenCode instead, and trying out OpenCode Go.

This is fantastic. And I really appreciate that it doesn't pollute my history API with a bunch of exploration marks.

That's neat!

I've been looking at getting an e-reader in the last few days, and the Xteink X4 is one of the ones I considered. I think it's probably too small for my intended use, but it's cool that people are tinkering with it like this.

I got one around december/january this year. I don't know your use case, for me it is okay in terms of size for reading. I do read a lot on my phone, on my laptop, on a larger e-reader.

I loved the impromptu dance party I had in this with a bunch of people just bouncing on the stage.

I love how snappy Zed is. Well done, folks. You should be proud of your work.

The author mentions SubSpace (the computer game, from the 90s), and the limited pixel budget for player banners in it.

It would be interesting to see if you could run a pared-down version of that game on a display like this.

Did you read the article? The author goes into several applications beyond just that.

I'm glad you've built something that works for you! Keep at it. Experiment, don't just leave it the same way it is now.

you bet it!

Zettlr would like a word.

I really like Zettlr, but I find it is always crashing when markdown changes behind the scenes and it has the document open.

It's so good for viewing all markdown in a repo, but dies all too often.
