Change Chat： A Conversation with Trey Finn
In this episode of Change chat, recorded on November 28, 2025, I talk with my son Trey about his use of the Supernote platform as a design engineer. This was a highly requested discussion by the community, and I think we should do it more often. We also have a deeper conversation about other e-ink and intentional devices, and specific use cases for organization and productivity. Can you really use e-ink for everything, should you? Let us know what you think in the comments.
