We have these amazing little computers in our hands. What are some beneficial things we can do with them? Websites, apps, tinkering… anything you can think of or things you already do. I’m tired of doom scrolling.

    While it’s usable and I’ve read material that way, I’ve found that I want a larger screen. I’ve read books on a Kobe e-reader, a tablet, a laptop, and a desktop, and those are fine. The phone requires movement to the next page with more frequency than I’d like.

    I agree that OLED screens doing light-on-dark look great at night, though.

    EDIT: YouTube clip of an OLED and LCD phone side-by-side in the dark:

      I have a large phone and I make the text pretty tiny, but I agree. My eyes aren’t quite what they used to be, and I can tell I’ll probably be hitching the font size up sometime to the point where frequent page turns might get annoying.
