Hey fellow E-Ink enthusiats,

many of you might have heard form the recent Clubhouse buzz. It's a
audio-only social network and got quite a lot of attention in the
past months:

Silicon Valley is going crazy for Clubhouse, a social media app with
1,500...

Clubhouse doesn't yet have a website and only counts about 1,500
users, but it's generating buzz for bringing celebrities together
with venture capitalists.

I have tried it today for the first time and I'm blown away by the
awesome user experience. So how is this related to eink? Well,
especially in COVID times we are having more and more screen time and
new issues like zoom Fatigue and the like appear. E-ink is (at least
partially) about improving the screen ergonomics and healthier
display tech for eye strain reduction and eye comfort.

But why not bring this to a new level and have more "audio-only"
applications. I could see more work flows being without display. The
classical example is a phone call, but it's more and more coming with
WhatsApp audio messages, voice to speek recogntion and the like.

What is the next Clubhouse for X?

VC: Pitch me. Me: It's an elite social media app that's audio-only
and invite-only, but my moat is that all of the conversations are
exclusively about messaging architectures. I call it PubSubHouse. VC:
Get out.

Can you imagine having more screen workflows being "screenless". I
think it's even more natural to use voice and audio than just typing
into a screen. Or even better to combine voice, audio and eink. What
would be the best ergonomic working station? Eventually even use AI
to optimize further?

What are your thoughts?
