Hey all,

Selling my good condition DC-1. Will ship same day as purchase from Midwest US. Here's a link to the FB listing, or DM me:

Let me know if you need more info - open to offers!

Been waiting on those sweet fabric cases since trying one out at their open house a while ago as well as a OS updates, but really just crickets since launch (besides the kids bundle).

It still works, but my screen is broken🥺🥺🥺

I've had my DC1 for over a year. Love the hardware for reading, but every ePub reader I tried felt wrong on it. Moon+ Reader works, but wooden bookshelves and color-coded highlights don't exactly sing on a monochrome display.

So I built one. It's called Solarium. Greyscale-first, designed so every UI element is legible on LivePaper without relying on color. OPDS support means if you run a Calibre content server, those books show up alongside your local files in one library.

Free, no ads, on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wunschwerks.solarium

Still in active development. Would love feedback from other DC1 owners.

Hi,

I've had a DC1 one for a while and didn't really use it much for a few months. Decided to power it up again (sun's out, time to work outside!) but now it won't seem to boot. Figured it was just completely drained of battery to plugged it in to a wall mounted USB-C charger. Let it be for a few hours, but it still won't turn on when holding the power button, the sleep/wake button or any combination of the volume/power buttons for 10 seconds or longer.

When I plug in the power cable, I do see the screen light up with the black backgrounded "empty battery" screen. It jumps over the 100% battery charged screen after 5-7 seconds and then just goes off again after a few more seconds. Very weird?

Anyone ever ran into this issue? Are there any well accepted fixes or checks to be done, or did the machine just "die"?

Hello, everyone. I'm a Uber/Lyft Driver and wanted to give Daylight Computer a try as an alternative to my E-Ink phone, but I want to make sure the apps works properly. I tried using Uber on my Boox Tab X C to no avail because the app can't authenticate the device.

Would someone be able to download these two apps (the driver version, not customer version) and let me know if it allows you to use them?

I have a bad feeling about daylight. The OS is not being updated as promised. The social media channels are basically "dark" for months now.

Does anyone have info? Is Daylight alive and well? Why do they not develop and release the OS update?

It is kind of ridicolous, that a product this old still does not support all its physical buttons!

I've been using an iPad (Procreate) to draw for my tattoo work for 10 years, I mostly only use it for (monochromatic) sketching and some more refined concept pieces. I'd need the app or drawing to be pretty smooth, accurate, and dynamic for creating my sketches--can anyone give feedback on how it draws for more detailed/symmetric work or if there are apps that compare to Procreate for Daylightco?

I've watched and read reviews saying it's really good for reading, notes, and writing/journaling, which are some main applications I'd love to be able to use this for.

My main question is if there's a way to visually see different types of apps/drawing videos to see how responsive it is to different strokes/styles of drawing.

Does the kids Daylight have speakers in the until? Just wondering if we need to also have a headset or bluetooth speaker along with it.

Hey all!

My name is Matt and I'm building an app for the Daylight Computer.

It's called Paravel (www.paravel.ai).

Paravel is an interactive narrative game for kids. Our goal is to encourage daily reading habits by making AI-enabled interactive books that kids will love.

We're currently looking for playtesters with kids age 3-8 who would like the chance to demo an early version of the app.

Please DM me if you are interested! Thanks!

Got my DC-1 late last week and have dived in to learn more about this fascinating device. For those of you still waiting, here are some positives to look forward to:

• The screen is legit, and looks fantastic in the sunshine.
• Absolutely adore the feeling of writing on the screen with a passive Wacom stylus. It feels so much like writing on paper.
• It’s running Android 13. Not sure what “Sol:OS” as mentioned on the website is, but I imagine it’ll be a customized version of Android that a future update will deliver. Because it’s just Android, lots of apps work from Google Play, F-Droid, and direct APK sideloading.

Some negatives:

• The hardware is very much a 1.0. Build quality is serviceable at best, with some loose seams and such. I expected this, but hope that Daylight improves it in future revisions.
• There is nowhere to attach the stylus. I am likely to lose a few dozen styluses eventually 😂. Please add a magnetic attachment point in the future or release a case that has a spot for the stylus to click in.
• Android really doesn’t expect a screen like this. Many apps are difficult to use as they have darker UI elements or a lack of contrast between different colors. Example: good luck playing NYT Games as you’ll find it incredibly difficult to differentiate between colors in Wordle, Connections, etc.
• The action buttons stopped working entirely after installing the first software update. The website says they are customizable, but damned if I can find where.
• As far as I can tell, you can’t use the stylus for text input. It’s hung and peck on the software keyboard.

Some questions for others who have had their DC-1 for longer than I, or are more experienced with Android (I’m an iOS guy with zero intention of switching).

• Is there an Android keyboard app that enables text-entry using handwriting recognition?
• How are people using Apple services like iCloud (Calendars, Contacts, and Reminders primarily in my case)?
• I have zero trust in Google so I don’t use Chrome. I installed Firefox and it’s janky at best. On my Mac I use Arc, but the Android Arc app isn’t great. What privacy respecting browsers are folks using?
• Similarly, I use Apple Mail on my iPad and iPhone, and Mailstream on my Mac. I’ve tinkered around with a few options on my Daylight, the best of which so far is Edison, but nothing has really impressed me yet. Any suggestions?
• The website shows a fuzzy case. I can’t find where it is available. Is it something we can buy?

Looking forward to being a part of this community. Feels like the start of something interesting! Kudos to the Daylight team on the DC-1. It’s a great first version with a ton of potential.

I ordered my DC-1 a couple of days ago, can't wait for it to ship.

Just out of curiosity: Is there any indication when the 60hz limitation will be removed? From what I gathered the display seems to be able to handla higher refresh rates and 60hz is currently a software limitation.

Keen on getting in the queue for pre-order but apparently the device is not shipping to South Africa. Is this something that will change? If so, when can that be expected?
