Looks like this year ePaper projects have been popping around[1], so this is mine. I made a photo frame with the intention of having a record of my family's history that can potentially outlive me. Knowing the challenges of long-lived digital projects, I consider this a moving target that will go through several iterations, but the first version showed encouraging results. I wonder if anyone else is interested in having something like that in their living rooms. More details: https://ift.tt/2Wr1O96 [1] https://ift.tt/33w5ngR https://ift.tt/3a0eS9D and more recently https://ift.tt/2W8BSyJ
