Thoughts on Daylight Computer
on the Amtrak from Denver to Sacramento When I get to write or read on a screen that’s reflecting the sun back at me instead of needing to be shielded from it, I get a dose of this feeling that this is what all computing could feel like. I want so much more of this in my life. This is a piece of hardware that makes me want to go outside instead of keeping me trapped inside. Something that doesn’t blind me at night with an artificial sun in my face, keeping me from seeing the actual sun the following morning.
there’s a slew of benefits to going with Android here (I listed it in the wonderful section too for a reason) but I also miss the top level cohesion & coordination effects of the Apple ecosystem gestures. Android Chrome has swiping to go back but not forward and it’s a lot less dialed in than iOS random buttons on my keyboard trigger weird full-screen popups about things I don’t care about, like Google Assistant. As a first generation product, it has its rough edges but at the end of the day, it’s a solid deliverable for a company building hardware and innovating on display tech.
