This is absolutely awesome! I've had (terrible quality) 3-color e-ink displays and some associated electronics sitting in my office cupboard for a few years because I wanted to prototype this project, but I never did. I'm so glad you did this!
Since I just want this to come to fruition, I'll explain what my intended launch strategy was. I'm a developer (just a contractor, not owner) of Tabletop Simulator and do some stuff in that community where there's an overlap between physical tabletop and digital. My plan was to launch a card game (largely designed) and the e-ink cards simultaneously via Kickstarter. However, before that, a digital implementation of the game on TTS. Basically as much as I love this idea, I couldn't see it being monetisable on its own unless you can bring the cost down significantly. It also didn't seem like a defensible business on its own. But if the product is a game that uses said functionality, well, that'd be just swell.
Anyway, congrats, this is awesome!
Thanks! And thanks for the tip! I may reach out to continue the conversation and shoot ideas back and forth if that's okay :)
Sure. Go for it. Can grab my contact a variety of ways, otherwise. hn@b.dobell.email
Maybe make it an NFT based CCG and hardcode a transaction fee of 5% to make money on the secondary market.
