Yeah it's a great combo of capabilities, decent as an ereader with Crosspoint too, similar to Xteink, etc.

Fair ofc :) This is more intended as a tech demonstrator and a bit of fun, although we have been using it for the weekly shop..

You can sort the aisles manually in the app, and there's a (hacky) route to use AI to categorise new items into an aisle. It shouldn't be too hard to use AI to sort the aisles I'd guess

Yeah, it is clunky tbh. but it does work. That was the motivation behind the web UI. I also stuck a basic MCP in front of it, we sometimes use AI to help plan out meals for the week, etc.

Why keep it simple when you can massively over engineer it ;)

That's a cool idea! There are small 1.54" e-ink screens, I wonder would it be possible to add an NFC chip and have them completely passive? (i.e. powered from the writer)

That was part of the motivation here: If I can think it up, can AI actually build it, even when it's outside my day-to-day experience? (and can it do it without frying the hardware somehow)

Honestly it's pretty good, but it's too new to give you an actual number. I haven't had to think about it so far. As a LoRa Meshtastic node the device ran for days and still had plenty of battery.

In normal operation battery life is by how often you do a refresh, the rest of the time it's in deep sleep. I think for this application I could build in a refresh schedule tied to when the house is active (mornings, evenings, weekends) to reduce the number of refreshes. It syncs on touch if it hasn't synced in the last 5 minutes (and there's a button for when your feeling impatient)

I stuck with the recommended full refresh every 15 interactions and partial otherwise. There's also a full refresh when moving from the settings screen back to the main list. Honestly though it probably makes sense to only do a full refresh when unticking (which is rare) or changing screens. The typical use cases are (1) glancing at the screen to make sure something is one the list and (2) ticking things off as they go into the basket. Neither really require a full refresh imho. Some ghosting is acceptable in general use I think
