Perfect! BW should work the best as it is the one I test on. We have merged the Libra branch to main, it will still show grayscale but should work. I am working with contributors on adding Color support to the UI components. Yes, issues is

Hey, we have merged support for the Color devices, actual colorful displays still testing. Let me know if you would like to test it. Happy to get any feedback on this.

Thanks! Can you please create two separate issues in the project for both Elipsa Gen1 support and the other for the stockfish and tailscale client implementation support. Would love to discuss and collaborate with you on both. I would need

I can help to port it for your device if you can help by testing it on your Color.

Thank you for the kind words. I will add a page to the project explaining the differentiation. NickelMenu is a mature project and perfect at what it does, we just have different goals. NickelMenu is designed to extend Kobo's stock inte

Hey, author here. NickelMenu is terrific and Cobalt uses it to show the menu item in the default Kobo menu. It's just that Cobalt and NickelMenu are not the same in terms of project goals. I created this as I could not find anything ex

NickelMenu is fantastic for adding custom buttons and some extra. We use it to display the Cobalt entry button on the stock Kobo interface. This SDK provides more of an android/iOS type framework to use underlying hardware like bluetoo

I have a Kobo that was kept unused in a similar state for a few years until I decide to build an SDK platform to develop and deploy apps on it. My Kobo does not support apps on its Linux platform. I have been using it to read HN, as an RSS

I have tried to do this, but most newer Kobo cannot due to CPU architecture support limitations. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Kobo_Clara_BW The older ones which do are severely restricted in features, and often e

A bit idealistic for the crowd here but has some good points. The other day I wanted to build personal apps for my Kobo device. It has a single ~800Mhz core and 512 MB of RAM, probably eight times less than a rasbperry pi, but runs a Linux.

Yes, we have been using this internally too. If you use it and encounter any bugs or have ideas for improvement, please file it. I will have a look.

Hey, this is exactly what we do at https://instavm.io Agents get persistent storage that outlive the sandbox and when the agent spins up again you get access to the computer with same files.

One of the things that makes Clawdbot great is the allow all permissions to do anything. Not sure how those external actions with damaging consequences get sandboxed with this. Apple containers have been great especially that each of them m

This looks cool, congratulations. We investigated WASM for our use case but then turned to Apple containers which run 1:1 mapped to a microVM for local use here, which is being used by a bunch of folks https://github.com/ins
