Does this work well in direct sunlight? I know a lot of e-paper panels struggle to refresh in strong sunlight. The waveshare panels look very faded if they update while exposed to UV.
dinan··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
I'm making Letterboxd for TV, with a pretty data visualizations.

The UI/UX is a pretty interesting problem. Letterboxd has it easy because a movie is its own discrete unit, but TV shows have multiple seasons, each with many episodes, and viewer behavior is varied. Some people watch one episode. Some people watch three at a time. Others binge multiple seasons in a sitting.

dinan··on Show HN: Car Chomper – A tool to visualize car sizes
Thanks for the feedback. I've fixed both issues. The RAV4 Prime model that you selected might be cached for a while though, but if you select a different RAV4 Prime trim, it should show the correct range.

I got fed up with trying to guess car sizes from useless dealer sites, so I spent way too much time building a visualizer.

You can throw two cars on top of each other to see the real size difference, or check a truck's turning radius to see if you'll need to do a 5-point turn just to turn around in your driveway. Visualization stuff you can't tell from a spec sheet.

I went a little to deep and ended up with specs for over 70k vehicles. But I used it to prove to myself a rivian won't fit in my garage, so I'm calling it a win.

Anyway, hope you enjoy my side project as much as i did making it. Let me know what you think or if there are any big improvements I can make.
