Today, we're launching Modos Flow on @crowd_supply: a 13.3" e-ink monitor for writing and focus.
Flow is easier on the eyes while staying responsive for typing and scrolling.

We reached and surpassed our funding goal! ๐
Thank you everyone for all of your support!
I'm processing it all, I'm completely exhausted, happy, and excited for what's next and get Flow to people's hands!
Four years, countless PCB revisions, and one custom FPGA controller later: a 60fps, 300ppi, open-source E Ink monitor is finally real.

I have just made our latest product (Modos Flow) open-source: https://t.co/FYoKwDrdlN. With complete source code (for both MCU and FPGA) and PCB design source file in KiCAD. It's a 300-ppi Eink portable monitor with 60Hz refresh rate and touch screen:
@crowd_supply Flow features a 3200 x 2400, 300 PPI e-ink screen, 60 Hz refresh, sub-100 ms latency, touch, and stylus support.
Our Paper Dev Kit gave makers an open platform for e-ink experimentation. Flow brings that work into a portable monitor for everyday use.

Today, we're announcing the pre-launch of Modos Flow.
A 13.3" E Ink monitor built on what we started with our Paper Dev Kits.
- 3200x2400
- 60 Hz refresh
- Sub-100 ms latency
- USB-C, works across Linux, macOS, Windows
- Touch and stylus support
For Boston-area folks, we'll be at the 62nd Boston Hardware Meetup at Boston University, and we would be happy to show you Modos Flow in person.

Flow builds on the Paper Dev Kits with a new open-hardware board, Enchanter, designed to push E Ink further, offering higher resolution and faster refresh rates
@Jonathan_Blow@Jonathan_Blow We have a few people in our Discord channel exploring an e-ink laptop. Itโs something weโre also interested in pursuing in the future.
@LostPostProduct Both are electrophoretic color displays.
The 4x8 grid uses Gallery 3 with four-particle microcapsules: cyan, magenta, yellow, and white.
The monitor is also color, but instead of color particles, it uses a color filter array over a black-and-white particle system.
