I’ve been enjoying toying around with my beepy, but the display is pretty miserable. I’d say you almost need outdoor light to enjoy it. Lights on inside it’s fine, usable, but lots of tilting to get the best angle. And I’d love just a little larger size, maybe another row of text and some more columns.

When the device was announced some naysayer here on HN said, hey, that display is lame and the raspberry pi is a bad choice for battery applications, mcus with better options for deep sleep could make this a device with a battery life measured in days, not hours. And despite calling them a naysayer I’d say they are completely right.

I don’t regret buying it anyway, though.
