sent a photo from my phone to the frame over WiFi today
no cables. battery powered. photo goes straight from phone to e-ink display
next: writing custom firmware so the iOS app can talk directly to the frame

@compileandpush The cost! Spectra 6 displays are currently the best for color e-ink but not available in India.
Sourcing Pimoroni costed 13.8k including shipping + customs. Too expensive, and then we need pi zero 2w to drive it.
My current setup is using GoodDisplay which is 8.5k all in.
a little side project I've been working on
battery-powered e-ink photo frame. 7.3" color e-paper, no cloud, photos go directly from your phone to the frame
first hardware render today. building it with Claude Code

lol just spent 35 mins on call trying to cancel @airtelindia Xstreme fiber because ofcourse you can't cancel it through app but can get a new one in under 1 minute. Oh, I had to talk with 4 people to finally get it cancelled.
At our next meetup, @PixeledCode will show how to create consistent chart visuals across all screen sizes using NextJS and Satori.
Register to join us at the meetup
