That's cool. The news front-page screenshot & calendar use-cases appeal to me. (Although, it seems like I could just do the news FP thing myself, with "Any image URL", rather than your $3/mo service.)

Is it touch interactive? Like, can I tap on a cell in the calendar to see "... and 2 more" details?

Can I easily create my own replacement frame?

Can I hang it on the wall in a manner where I can rotate between portrait & landscape orientations, and have it react in an appropriate way for the running app?

Is there an SDK for app development?



You can probably create your own frame if you are careful when you open it up.

It has no touch. If you change its orientation on the wall, you have to change the orientation in the phone app.

There is no sdk but there is an api one can use for connecting third party apps.


Are you using something like an ESP32 to run the thing? I ask because a lot of them have a surprising amount of random sensors tacked on, like accelerometers. (capacitive, and hall-effect sensors too) Auto-orientation is probably a thing you'd need to design for though.
