We’re craving amber because it’s the single most human-friendly color technology can emit at night
What we’re really craving is a future where tech is aligned with our biology and respectful of our sensitivity
It’s a deeply vulnerable yearning for more attunement, warmth, and care emanating from the devices that make up our world
And yes I believe in it enough to build a business around it with @supermirror_app and recommend getting one, you can get 50$ off with my code WELF :) https://t.co/I2zXFbMYLy
A lot of my posts revolve around the @daylightco, so here’s why this screen is such a big deal.
It’s…
📝 paperlike, reflective, non-emissive
🔵 blue light free
💡 flicker-free (so WAY calmer for your brain)
⏩ super-smooth-scrolling (60-120 fps)
🌞 sunlight readable
🌚 circadian friendly, thanks to the
🎃 amazing amber backlight (soo vibey and easy on the eyes)
✍️ actually great texture for handwriting
Once I experienced what a paperlike computer feels like, it’s impossible to just go back and pretend it’s fine that we’re looking at flickering blue-light rectangles for most of our waking lives.
Of course you can argue about the details: worse contrast than eink and the resolution is meh, etc.
But at the end of the day, this is V1 of the screen that I want for everything: 27-32 inch for my desktop, a phone, a 13-15 inch to mount onto my Mac, etc.
It’s the starting point for truly human-friendly computing. It’s what I want for my loved ones, my children, and all of you.
I’m so sick and tired of losing the game of my own attention to algorithms and cheap dopamine
So now I’m rebuilding my digital environment from the ground up
and I won’t stop until human-friendly computing is accessible to every single one of you
The future of computing is amber
@jesussard It’s worth trying I think. And it’s more attainable than we think. Just getting to the point of having paper-like screens for like 95% of screen time is so utterly transformative

@shkeen_ It’s a paper-like @daylightco — slightly worse contrast than eink but at 60 fps I think the best choice for daily computer use. Non-emissive, blue light free, sunlight readable
@ChrisMasterjohn@_welf here took a daylight computer and made a whole laptop-like experience out of it by adding wood, a bluetooth keyboard, and his own vibe-coded display app...
best in class, zero-glare, paper-like visual display without losing functionality!

@JackEllis@supermirror_app@daylightco First time setup *should* be smooth but has occasional hiccups. After that you just plug it in and it starts mirroring!
today I'm launching @supermirror_app
the #1 performant Mac-to-Android mirroring app
60 fps, <10ms, lossless, optimized for E-Ink devices
which means: you can now use your mac, on paper
for calm computing, deeper focus and better sleep
first prototype built with Opus 4.6 in a few hours, relentlessly optimized since
- beautiful menu bar app
- clamshell mode, touch input
- keyboard shortcuts, full CLI (hi claude)
- any android 8 device or newer
- 5 min setup
it's been such a joy to build this simple product to autistic levels of quality and performance
free 7 day trial, then $29 forever
really hope you enjoy it

Opus 4.6 is insane.
Today we vibecoded what might be the best vibecoding setup in the world: a mirroring solution to use the @daylightco DC-1 as external display for my Mac.
Anything you do on a Mac — now on a paperlike screen, no blue light, no PWM flicker
→ more relaxed nervous system & clear focus
bro really built a wooden laptop for outdoor computing
I can’t believe how beautiful it looks, in it’s natural habitat
touching grass, no flicker from the paper-like screen, full spectrum sunlight
