the current developer ecosystem of like plugins to display things that it's very friendly. Like you can very easily make your own plugin, but there just aren't that many yet for different services. So I would love for more people to buy these. So that way, maybe more people would develop plugins for more stuff. I might be able to do with it. Uh, but, uh,

I'm very happy with this because it's finally like it's taking all of this amazing like this amazing cheap tech that we had like hardware is so cheap now, especially if you don't need like top of the line cutting edge stuff. And so I'm excited to see products like this, you know, even if this one particular thing isn't exactly what what you need out there.

There's so much amazing cheap hardware now that just makes it so much more accessible. You can use it in so many more places. More people can buy it. More people can afford it. More people can afford to replace it if it breaks. If you have a need for some kind of ambient display in your house, check out Terminal. I think it's a really cool idea. Their heads are in the right place.

It isn't some kind of weird, creepy startup trying to VC you up the rear end or anything. It's just a nice effort to a nice product. So far, it passed muster as like something that can live in our house. And that's that's pretty impressive.

Yeah, I haven't yet made any custom things. Frankly, I just haven't had time. I do intend to because it's so nice and good looking and useful that I think if I were ever to want to make like some dashboards for my business metrics, say, this would be great to have like, you know, two or three of these in my office, you know, just next to my desk or something like that.

Um, but right now I'm just using the, like there is just in their existing like library of plugins that the, they already have. Um, I'm using like, yeah, the weather, the date countdown and the office quotes. Those are all built in.

It doesn't have any kind of iCloud support yet, so that's kind of what I want people to make. Otherwise, I'll be forced to make it for myself, and I don't want to. But I believe it does have the Google Calendar support already.

Yeah, and also if you are so inclined to write your own plug-ins, you pay an extra, I think, $20 for access to the developer keys and everything, and you can do basically whatever you want with it then. And it seems like it's pretty easy, because it's all just web page rendering, basically. It's like rendering HTML and CSS to an image.

i mean john you could make a custom plugin that would you know just you enter every time you buy new milk you enter expiration dates in in your api somewhere and then it just counts down the days on the terminal on the fridge to you know the milk has three days left there's more than one thing of milk on the fridge but yeah it's just easier to pull it out and glance at the calendar as you close the door it's the the system works fine but that's what that's when i use it that's when i actually look at the calendar portion the rest of the time i'm just looking at the image part
