Monochrome terminal setup for an E-ink monitor (2022)
This looks wonderful, and I can't wait for these kinds of e-ink displays to get more affordable.<p>Looks like a perfect display for outdoors, very long trips (battery time?), long writing sessions, etc. I'd love to build a "DIY laptop" like that, but at these prices I'm likely better off with a Macbook Air...<p>I'm already experimenting with using a heavily desaturated/monochromatic color scheme for coding (it's working surprisingly well - e.g. using bold text to differentiate keywords).<p>I think most CLI apps are abusing color for little gain. Reading the output of some programs feels like wading through a room filled with fruit salad - the JS ecosystem is particularly bad in this regard. I'm using red in my prompt to indicate a root shell and/or an SSH session, and I think that's as far as it should go.
