I'm pleased with how this turned out. That's a lot of tech for about $20.

Feels like an odd design decision to overlay a paused indicator blocking a dormant e-ink display. I wonder what the intention behind that was.

@RyanParsley it's because eInk does not update quickly and when the screen is paused, the user would really not know it. That overlay just informs the user they should press a button to refresh and wake it.

@danie10 it makes sense that you'd want to indicate potentially stale data. Just feels like you could do it a touch more subtly with a icon in the top or invert colors and not pop a model over 1/3 of the screen. Or, maybe, lean into "sleep mode" a little more with an alternate view all together.

@RyanParsley good ideas. I think you can log those as suggestions on their Github project, or better discuss under firmware on the Discord channel.
