I made a solar-powered, ePaper photo frame
Looks like this year ePaper projects have been popping around[1], so this is mine. I made a photo frame with the intention of having a record of my family's history that can potentially outlive me. Knowing the challenges of long-lived digital projects, I consider this a moving target that will go through several iterations, but the first version showed encouraging results. I wonder if anyone else is interested in having something like that in their living rooms. More details:…

This is a solar-powered photo frame using ePaper technology designed to display family photos as a long-term digital archive. The maker built it to create a durable record of family history that could potentially outlast them, addressing concerns about digital project longevity. It targets people interested in preserving memories in a low-power, sustainable format suitable for home display. The first prototype demonstrated promising results, with the project intended to evolve through multiple iterations.

It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong.
