So far it's awesome

I'm kind of disappointed that it's so great, bc I was going to make something similar for Christmas presents for my family this year and it was going to take months of hard work....now it looks like it would just take a few weekends.

－ Eli Gaultney

Wonderful!

Easy to use, no fluf. Great battery.

－ Hector Ramirez

Works great!

Really happy with my TRMNL! Hoping the available plugins will grow soon but i'm really happy with it!

－ Matthijs Hekman

Definitely recommended!

Great for showing your favorite highlights from Readwise, or keeping up to date with meetings, stocks, weather without the stress of notifications, doom scrolling on the phone.

－ Akshay Shah

Excellent!

Everything works just as excepted. Private plugins are great for anyone who looks for a more customized experience.

－ Itay Cohen

The white TRMNL is great!

I really like how easy it is to put together custom plugins with the developer edition. I got a white TRMNL and the screen looks great and the battery life has been fantastic so far.

－ William Browar

Terrific!

It's exactly what I wanted.

－ Thor Bremer

Wonderful!

I like the screen and the versatility of the settings. Nice docs, lively discussions, [and] to not think about charging all the time is nice!

－ Fredrik Lindgren

Very useful and flexible

Easy to setup, a simple hardware with a very simple software stack makes TRMNL a winner.

－ Joao

Really love it

The new matte display is gorgeous and I love being able to place permanent information displays around my house without having any wires or cords. It's just a magical internet device.

－ Michael Ducker

Pretty good! Really enjoying it!

Looks fantastic, amazing battery life, and great dashboard options, far more than I expected.

－ Christopher Meisenzahl

Definitely recommended!

A fun device that you can do actually useful things with.

－ Fredrik Jonsson

Really loved it!

I think it’s great. I have it set up with weather, Google calendar and BBC News.

－ Simon Weaver

How great!

I love that such a product even exists. I feel like I'm only scratching the surface with what's possible with this thing, which is awesome.

－ Rahul Rachuri

Fantastic!

One of the most appealing aspects of this device is how easy it is to set up a highly customizable E-Ink dashboard. There’s no need for soldering or server setup, allowing you to start using it right away. You can effortlessly create playlists from the plugin list, and by adding the Developer Edition option, you can customize your own screens using HTML markup and APIs. It supports both polling and WebHook methods for data retrieval, offering great versatility. Additionally, a dedicated design system ensures that custom screens maintain a cohesive look with existing plugins. Overall, this device makes it incredibly easy to create a sleek and well-designed dashboard with minimal effort.

－ Kentaro Shimatani

Spectacular!

I have ordered several. Love these things

－ Garrett Nunes

Just what we hoped for!

We bought this because we wanted the plug and play easy of a product instead of a DIY solution. This delivers. Connect it to your Wi-Fi. Pick an app from the selection and you're ready to go! It's now serving as our grocery shopping on our fridge.

－ Adam Geller

Easy to use, set up, and forget!

This device is wonderful! It provides a great way to screen detox your life while being lightweight and easy to configure.

－ Andrew Subowo

Incredible!

Best purchase of the year!

－ Cai

Excellent!

Really loving this!

－ Gabriel Krieshok

I absolutely love it

I love everything, but when I see the latest product Hunt products, I get idea inspirations. I also love knowing just how many days left until my vacation.

－ James Welch

Excellent!

I am loving the TRMNL. It was easy to setup and use, and developing plugins is a breeze. Screen quality is great, and battery lasts for ages.

－ Eric Tastad

Highly recommended!

The design is great, the setup is easy and the features are quite abundant

－ Curiosity S.

Incredible!

Love it, super useful, super simple device. With the upgraded battery, it's entirely possible I'll only need to charge it once before the heat death of the universe.

－ Andrew Humphrey

Terrific!

Incredible craftsmanship. While I've not had much time with it do to a mix of work and life things popping up I was getting started with it earlier and appreciated the simplicity for startup. Using the WiFi portal method for setup is genius. And the quality of the device is great. It's not entirely solid, there is a small very tiny feeling of fragility. But it's really well manufactured. I'm curious what the material texture on the outside is called or how that's achieved. It makes it feel soft. Nice to hold.

－ Luis Ayuso

Incredible!

Outstanding. I love the device and keep thinking of ways to integrate it into my day. Flexible, quiet, useful, calm, extensible - could not have asked for anything more.

－ Evan Blanch

Exactly what I wanted

Fantastic and open little device. I love the product and ecosystem built around it as I don't have a lot of time to 'hack' it right now. I was able to get up and running with several basic screens that have been helpful in my daily life.I also love that it's open so, god forbid, the company goes away one day the display will still be useful and I can easily host my own server or repurpose it for another project. Every product should be this way and, in my opinion, it adds a huge layer of value!

－ Joel Gillman

5 Stars

Fun device that makes life simpler, not more complex

－ Dylan Book

Really impressed.

After 24 hours of using my TRMNL, I'm really impressed. The device looks great, the UI is smooth, and the overall experience is excellent. There's always room for improvement, but you’ve done a fantastic job creating a solid foundation to build on.

－ Gregory

Marvelous!

I got this as a gift for a tech enthusiast. He has been thrilled with the ink display and has been working to customize it with the developer edition.

－ Chris Jacobson

A big thumbs up.

I can only tell you that my son in law was happy to get this for Christmas [...] it was a big hit. So it gets 5 stars from me.

－ Jennifer Kingston

Phenomenal!

Easy to set up, does what it is supposed to, and easy to develop personal apps for using basic web technologies. If you’re looking for a e-ink dashboard but don’t want to solder or root a kindle, this is what you are looking for.

－ Jacob Field

Works great.

Creating a custom plugin takes trial and error. [...] I'm happy with the build quality and the website is excellent. This is a quality product.

－ Natasha Naveed

Everything is perfect!

I am delighted with both the product and the attention received. It is a device that you don't know how much you needed until you have it. In my case, it helps me a lot with organization and concentration. On the other hand, the commitment of Ryan and his team is worth mentioning. Very present throughout the entire process: sales, support, development, improvements... 5 stars are not enough to evaluate this team.

－ Rubén Alonso Villodre

Great device!

TRMNL is a great companion device that keeps me informed of the things that matter most to me. Using an e-ink display is very innovative, it's an improvement over traditional led matrix displays in the sense that it can fit more information on the screen, it's easier to read and the batter lasts for months! I got the Developer edition and I love how easy it is for me to build my own apps.

－ Daniel Sitnik

A great piece of tech to start my morning

Such a great simple device that offers me insight into what to expect for my day and what to look forward to for the rest of the week. I've only really used the calendar but plan on making my own app soon.

－ Carlos Flores

Works as described

To help my kids get ready in the evening and morning I use the Weather plugin to help them get dressed and the 'custom text' plugin to write down what the plan is for the day. I used a command strip to place it in the hallway and it has been working great.

－ Brandon Philips

Does what it says it will without apps, bluetooth, complexity or nonsense

I had been on the hunt for an e-ink calendar - they were all prohibitively expensive, or exceedingly complex, or relied on some very fishy app connection. I mean I think I'm a pretty clever guy but I am not capable of the coding and programming needed for so many of the DIY options.Saw TRMNL. Bought TRMNL. It's perfect. Sits on my desk, tells me weather and my calendar, and updates only when it needs to.Despite what marketing tells us - we don't actually need every device to do every thing. TRMNL does what it says it will, does it well, and without extraneous nonsense. Perfect.

－ Matt Skinner

Made for the minimalist generalist

Once you have setup your TRMNL, it is pretty straightforward to add plugins from the dashboard and add them to your playlist where these will be displayed.As a minimalist it is easy for me to look at my items at glance and not be bothered by other distractions on my phone: if you do some time blocking on your calendar then I highly recommend adding your calendar through the plugin to see all upcoming events.Beyond that the widgets for weather and custom text are my favourite; planning to use many of the other plugins for it.

－ Anthony Mendes

Wonderful!

Sleek device with easy browser-based customization options. Most importantly, responsive support who really care about the customer experience. Overall, it’s a neat, e-ink productivity enhancer run by a team of people who are truly curious/engaged in their craft.

－ Smith

Just got mine, and I already love it

I backed TRMNL on Kickstarter, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive my order today (10/17/24) which is a month and a half ahead of the expected delivery date of December 2024. Setup was easy, the device came fully charged, and I've even started tinkering around with creating custom plugins already. I don't know if people realize how insanely difficult it is to bring a hardware product to market, and Kickstarter is rife with crowdfunding efforts where the supporters were burned. This is not one of them, pretty obviously. The actual display is really high quality--if I didn't know better, I would assume it was a fully overseas-manufactured and assembled device!Kudos to Ryan and his team for bringing this thing together. I'm impressed. Try it, I think you'll like it.

－ Salil Maniktahla

CRUSHED IT

By far the best Kickerstarter I've ever been a part of. Polish is what you'd expect from a commercial enterprise with a few products under their belt. Flawless setup, excellent UX. Phenomenal.
