I love when my friends have their fridges covered in Polaroids.

Wait that’s actually adorable — e‑ink is such a good fit for “glance at it a hundred times a day” stuff, and no charging drama. I’d be curious how the contrast looks in a dim kitchen though, since e‑ink can get kinda muddy indoors.

Honestly, that’s cute. I’d stick one on the fridge for rotating family photos.

Same, it’s the rare gadget that actually fits the “fridge = little gallery” vibe without needing a charger dangling somewhere. If the contrast is decent, I can see it becoming the default place for the one photo everyone keeps re-printing.

Look — if they nail contrast and viewing angle in real kitchen lighting, this is way less annoying than reprinting the same “one good photo” every six months. My only worry is people treating it like a toy and forgetting it’s still a screen that can get wiped or swapped by anyone who walks by.
