TodoInky
Electronic e-ink to-do list with an interactive dashboard.
Electronic to-do lists are helpful— you can add to them at any time, anywhere. However, phones are much more than to-do lists and can be easily distracting, especially when trying to get things done. This product aims to solve that challenge, being both electronically controlled and uniquely physical.
Powered by an E-ink display, the product has no backlight or touchscreen. You can add, remove, and check off items from your to-do list from the product's local dashboard. Or, while focusing, just click the button on the side to check something off.
Web Dashboard
TodoInky is powered by a Raspberry Pi. It uses an AIOHTTP server to display the website on your local network, multithreading to prevent display changes from impacting web performance. Any changes on the website are immediately synced to the physical display.
The code is available on GitHub!
Creating the Enclosure
TodoInky's enclosure is made of laser-cut acrylic. Fitting everything into the box was difficult, leading to some messiness with super glue.
