I wish this was supported by default in the Kindle browser. I wonder if there was a way to make it an extension or a wrapper and make it available in eink device browsers. But it seems that even this blog post page is not supported in the Kindle browser. (I don't see the eink mode icon.) The requirements for me are simple, primarily to make consuming web content on my kindle scribe easier. * Instead of scrolling by finger gestures (which is a pain to watch on slowly-refreshing eink), have two buttons on the side to do page up and down. * Disable animations * Ability to increase/decrease font size. I attempted to make this happen for my mastodon feed [here](https://keheliya-slowdon.web.val.run/). source available [here](https://www.val.town/v/keheliya/slowdon).

In eInk Mode: Making web pages easier to read

Show HN: Kindly RSS, a self-hostable RSS app designed for e-ink devices

In the last few weeks I've been working on a RSS application designed to be used in e-ink devices such as Kindle, through the device's web browser. It's a self-hostable app optimized for running on low-end hardware (such as Raspberry Pi, I actually run it on a 3b model). The project is in its early stages of development. It is usable, but you may (and probably will :P) encounter bugs from time to time. I did it for myself (I like to read at night before going to sleep but I don't like to use my phone at that time). I thought people could find it useful so I worked on it a little bit more to publish it. At the moment it can only be run by downloading and compiling the source code or using the docker image (in the repo and the landing page there is a curl that executes the script to run the container, manual instructions can be found in the
