TRMNL X e-ink dashboard

Last year I took a look at an open-source e-ink dashboard. This year, TRMNL has an improved version. Have they held up their end of the bargain?

One year after the original TRMNL review, every promise has shipped: open-source firmware, bring-your-own-device support for Kindle, Nook, iPad, Kobo, Raspberry Pi, and Seeed Studio DIY kits, plus fully self-hosted servers in PHP, Node, Python, Ruby, and Elixir through the Terminus project. The community has exploded to over 850 free plugins and recipes funded by a Creator Fund that pays developers real money based on installs and API impressions. TRMNL also hacked 2-bit grayscale out of 1-bit e-paper hardware, shipped zero-flicker refresh, removed front branding with Tailor, and published an Unbrickable Pledge promising to open-source everything if the company folds. The TRMNL X features a 4:3 aspect ratio, magnetic pogo pin charging, modular puck connector for future PoE and sensor accessories, gesture touch controls, and OTG power bank mode—making it the e-ink display the original should have been.
