TL;DR I m looking for advice regarding browser-based frontend development from people with practical e-ink UI experience. My specific device is a Bigme Hibreak Pro BW but I m aiming for relatively broad compatibility.I ve recently switched to a black-and-white e-ink smartphone with the motivation of withdrawing from the attention economy somewhat and it s a genuinely cool piece of hardware. While the majority of my needs are met by this device there are a few things I d like to have which don t work terribly well with the e-ink screen. I m planning to implement a couple of projects to fill these gaps, at the moment I m planning a Lemmy frontend and an OpenRouter frontend specifically for e-ink. Both are to be browser-based rather than native, to maximise compatibility and because I m much more familiar with the web than Android development.I would like to study the principles of sound e-ink UI design before approaching these projects to avoid creating unusable slop, in particular I am not entirely sure how to approach treating the refreshes as a first-class aspect of the design when I can t control them from the browser, and how to apply comprehensible UI conventions when a greyscale, high-contrast display is the target.Some specific problems I have out of the gate are:* Streaming LLM output to the screen is basically the worst-case scenario for e-ink, I need to buffer it and paint it in chunks without this becoming horrible to use.* Ghosting is a serious problem, browsing HN on the device is a particularly obvious example. Ideally I want to avoid scrolling as far as possible and rely on pagination instead, which I feel has the potential to become annoying if not done well.* Given I must rely exclusively on layout and type to carry the UI, what design languages emphasise these qualities best? My gut says the early Mac OS versions wouldn t be a bad place to start, this seems relevant given the display constraints of the early macs.I would greatly appreciate any advice on the design and implementation of e-ink UIs from people with practical experience in this area. This is purely to scratch a personal itch, once they re nailed down I ll put them out in the wild under the GPL.
