Notes

With the Open Book Touch campaign drawing to a close, I thought it would be worth stepping back and talking about what got me started on all of this: books, and the formats backing them.

Creating a custom framework helped people make incredible things with Sensor Watch, and I want to see the same explosion of possibility with the framework I've developed for Open Book Touch.

If you've been following the development of the Open Book, you've probably seen my penchant for overly detailed documentation on circuit boards. Open Book Touch is no exception; every available square inch is covered with silkscreen text explaining what things are for. Come see what it looks like inside.

Focus is the UI framework that runs the Open Book, and today's update is the grand tour of this castle: how it's laid out, why it looks the way it does, and my confession of how I finally put it on solid ground.

This update is about the reading reflexes, all the things your hands already know how to do with a book and that Open Book Touch implements: mark your place or mark a passage, consult the table of contents, flip ahead and back again, skim for a word or a passage, and of course, look things up in the dictionary.

The slim, pocketable, fully open source e-reader I've been chasing for six years is real, and as of today it's live on Crowd Supply.

Hey y'all. Joey here. It's been about a month since I told you Sensor Watch would be shipping in about a month, and hey, good news everyone! Sensor Watch Pro orders for backers are set to ship to Mouser next week.

Shipping updates, new features, and logistics!

We have kind of a big grab bag of news this week, including production progress, the challenges of Daylight Savings Time, and Supercon.

Meet Sensor Watch's newest sensor: an accelerometer!
