It's awesome to see a Daylight Computer user in the wild :)

Did you also try out an e-paper phone at some point? And how are you doing in terms of connecting with friends and so on?

The only other e-paper device that I had was a small nook many years ago. As far as connecting with people, I think quite well? The only social media I really use is bluesky, which has been really nice. Otherwise I keep in touch with my meatspace friends either over SMS (I use JMP Chat for SMS over XMPP on any device) or Signal (I use the molly.im client, which is easier to use without a cell phone (particularly because you can't scan QR codes on the Daylight)).

Ironically I actually feel like I experience far less FOMO than when I was hyper connected too :P

This looks so intriguing. How is it at keeping on top of stuff like email and text? Any lag with a bluetooth keyboard?

I have always had trouble keeping on top of email, but probably as good as anything? I don't use a Bluetooth keyboard, but I use a USB keyboard (ZSA Voyager) and a Bluetooth mouse (Logitech MX Anywhere 3S) and it works well for me. For some reason I have to re-pair the mouse often, but I think that's on the mouse side. My headphones have no trouble staying paired.
