Xteink ereaders do (available on Amazon) but just make sure to get the “developer edition” and you can flash the hardware.

Reposting because more need to know and the original one only has 12 points.

I love these kind of projects. M5Stack Cardputer Zero launched on Kickstarter last week and already hit their goal

Works well for me. I'm on desktop (Macbook Air M3) but have a decent amount of RAM

Very cool! The magnitude of how tiny we actually are...

Yes exactly! I did this kind of thing too for a little while. I ended up using the Gist to access the bookmarks but figured it would be nice to have an optional viewer to search/sort. Also having it across all devices is a big plus. One of the features I miss now that Pocket used to offer with their bookmarklet.

Thumby has a 3x5 but I do like this 5x5 better

One of the benefits of graph databases is that you can measure strengths of connections and also infer connections that don’t actually exist (edge prediction) among many other path traversal techniques. It’s not always just about the connection itself. Many have these algorithms built in so you don’t have to reinvent it.

Timely article for me! I just went through this in my little SimCity remake for MicroPython:

Following up here, I just added a game interface abstraction to make it easier to support more devices. Planning on getting a few MakeCode-compatible devices to adapt for them.

This is cool thanks for sharing! I'm definitely be digging into these. It would be neat to support some of these devices too. I didn't know about MaplePad (+1 to Dreamcast VMU projects!)

This is for 72×40 display right now but I was also working on an interface layer to abstract Thumby specific functionality in order to play on potentially other platforms running MicroPython/Python. Going to try and add that in the next iteration.

Thanks I'll post when it's available. Still waiting on the PR to merge in their Arcade repo.
