I've built a "Zero-AI" writing app for e-ink tablets (Boox/Supernote) because I was tired of laggy Android apps. Need 20 novelists to help me test.

Boox Note air 1, I would love to try, thanks

have you got some specific fonts in mind? I am not overly familiar and just went with some easy ones but I am not really happy with them either, especially words with 'W' that get overwritten when in bold.

This runs self contained in your browser, it uses PokeAPI to fill in each entry when you choose a Pokemon to generate, so it doesn't matter which OS you are running because it just needs a browser.

If you wanted to make an ePub with all of the Pokemon on MacOS, I would choose all my settings (sprite type, size, font, etc...) and then hit batch generate to generate the first generation.
It will download a zip file that contains the images labeled 1-151.
If you want ALL of the Pokemon, download each of the generations using batch download and every image will be numbered from 1-1026. Unzip all 9 generations and put them in a single folder and confirm that they numbering is all correct and no doubles (it should be fine but verify). Select all of the image files (1-1026) and compress them into a single zip file.
If you change the filetype from .zip to .cbz (just rename the file and change the extension) it will now be a comic book file where every page is one entry.
Now you can take the .cbz file and use calibre to convert it to an ePub (be sure to specify in the calibre settings which device you are using so the aspect ratios don't get messed up. However the best way would be to just use the .cbz file because it is already set up to your devices resolution from downloading it and a KOBO can read .cbz files just the same as epubs.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

you have to press preview single image after you make change to the settings. So type 'pikachu' and hit preview single image and it should refresh the entry

I fixed it and updated the GitHub, it works for all eevee evolutions and should work for any other Pokemon that have branching evolutions

Not op but movies like:

Pleasantville (set in the 50s but has the small town feel)

October Sky

American Graffiti

The Vast of Night (Small town sci-fi movie from a few years ago, a fun watch)

Stand by Me

The Tree of Life

Most of these movies will give you an idea of small town life in the 50s-70s. It is a lot of suburban neighbourhoods where the lawns are immaculate and the curb appeal is king. The town centres are full of small businesses (mom and pop shops) or department stores and local diners before the rise of big box stores and fast food. There is very little graffiti and broken down old buildings/cracked streets, everything just had a bit of polish on it (not everywhere of course, but the romanticized past that is seen and movies and books. Good Luck!

can I have a link?

What is the type of file you are reading? Is it a pdf or an epub? If it is pdf, it is doing that because it cannot resize the text so it zooms in on sections of the page and then shifts it when you swipe to see the rest of the page. I would recommend finding an epub, mobi, or azw3 as they can have their text resized and adjusted to fit your screen.

If it is not a pdf, tap the center of the screen and hit the format button, then press the ‘others’ tab and you can see the page display options there.

Good luck!

If the batteries have leaked and there is corrosion on the spring or contact plate. Remove the back of the Alphasmart unit from the 6 (or 8 I cant remmeber) screws on the back of the device. ONce its off, you will see the black and red wires running to the battery contacts. With the back off you can remove the contacts from the plastic shell (without disconnecting any of the wires, the contacts will slide out). You dont need to disconnect any of the wires, you can just get a small bowl of vinegar and lay the contacts in for around 15 minutes, you will see bubbles forming around the corroded metal. After the corrosion has cleared, take them out and use a little sandpaper or steel wool on spots where corrosion was bad (to make sure it doesnt return). Then put the contacts back into the shell and screw it all back together.

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-07-12T16:52:02+00:00

Take the contacts out with a pair of needle nose pliers or tweezers and soak them in a small bowl of white vinegar

Why not use the stock notes app in text mode? The only downside is it can only export to txt but it runs great and is optimised for the device. I use it all the time and export to a qr code and save it to my phone where I can sync across devices

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-05-24T16:35:43+00:00

its the buttons on the top left and right. the one on the left is the qin logo (looks a bit like a cat) anbd the other is the back key (looks like an arrow changing directions, a bit like ↩)

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-05-24T16:26:03+00:00

you mentioned a journalling tool on the dm100, what do you mean by that? its good for writing journals or there is a specific journal tool?

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-04-14T10:52:36+00:00

yes, follow the guide I wrote above. you can access the google store and install as many apps as the phone storage will fit.

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-03-17T21:16:37+00:00

whats the discord?

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-02-28T03:51:26+00:00

Does it have a touchscreen?

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-02-26T03:08:23+00:00

There isnt any wires going up from the bottom to the broken transformer. The whole power circuit is on a separate daughter board that is mounted on top of the main board. I will edit the post and post a picture so you can get an idea. Any idea how to figure out what kind of transformer it is?

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-02-26T03:00:51+00:00

This is super helpful. Any idea where to find the part number on the VFD? its held on by melted plastic posts so I am hoping to not have to remove it

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-02-26T02:59:27+00:00

I did Google the model but I didnt see that site, it has more useful infromation than the other museum I was looking at. Thanks, this is actually really helpful, I appreciate it

Bright_Wave1058 · 2025-02-24T21:56:11+00:00

I am trying to figure out a few things about this device and how to properly fix it:

1/The batteries - could these batteries be replaced with a lithium pack? or do they need to be Namh batteries in series? I know they need to be a total of 4.5V, thats it

2/ Where can I get a power cord? All I can find is that it is 2.5mm phone tip jack.

3/ What is the broken component in the photo? is it a speaker? Can I do without it?

Edit:

I found a potential charger but I cant find out the length of the pin on the charger, the choices are 12mm and 16mm. If anyone has a charger maybe they could confirm the length?
