Super hackable but it pings their hosted server and nothing else?! Is there a way to run your own server?

if you think about it, we are incentivized to do this. no subscription fees means the more you ping our server, the lower our margin. but for now we're wrapping up fulfilling all pre-orders, scaling, etc typical new product issues.
even without BYOS (bring your own server) docs however, it's already possible to point TRMNL to your own stack if you 1) fork our OSS firmware + b) have some experience with e-ink.

need to update docs too, thanks for the call out. we were writing docs before this piece was ironed out.
