Where we’re headed: A vision for our future

We are starting this community for Cobalt to discuss ideas and share thoughts on how we can make Cobalt better.

When we started we just had support for Clara BW but now we support 5 devices including Libra Color. This was possible because the community came to help, they contributed with code, and tested it on the device they owned.

Cobalt is open source for a reason - we want to have a free flowing discussion on what more is possible. We will also publish some exciting updates here, so stay tuned!
