       #TIL about a hardware company called #reMarkable;"Our scientific advisors help us understand how technology affects attention — and guide us in creating products that protect focus and support more deliberate ways of working. This work is designed to spur innovation, test ideas through rigorous research, and champion focused thinking."https://remarkable.com/scientific-advisory-boardNot sure if their software is Free Code. But You might find this relevant to your work on SX design @smallcircles.#hardware

       @strypey thank you! Wonderful product. And their approach to calm tech and thoughtful design really shines through.I really like how they phrased what their product 'feels like' poetically (which unfortunately is an image without alt-text, or I would've share below). That comes close to Social experience design #SX in how it starts with envisioning the solution and elaborating individual needs.https://remarkable.com/using-remarkable/inspiration/why-deep-thought-matters-defending-focus-in-a-distracted-world

       @strypey @smallcircles The os is Linux and you can SSH in with the provided root password and so while not entirely free software, you can interact with it using entirely free software tools without any issues or touching any cloud services.

       @DanielRThomas> The os is Linux and you can SSH in Nice one. Which distro?> not entirely free softwareWhich bits are nonfree? Is it the usual firmware/ drivers/ kernel blobs required to make off-the-shelf hardware components work?> you can interact with it using entirely free software tools without any issues or touching any cloud servicesGood to know.@smallcircles

       @strypey @smallcircles Not sure which distro. I think the UI is non-free.

       @DanielRThomas > I think the UI is non-freeAh, like SailFish. That's a shame. Hopefully the project are open to releasing it under a libre license. Before someone starts trying to reverse engineer it under a libre license, so the device can be used in freedom without SSHing into it.@smallcircles
