 ## Daylight Apps
 
 Reader is the main custom app that ships with the device. It's also what you use to activate your Daylight account. I'll take more notes at [[Daylight Reader]] as I use it.
 
 I use it for demo'ing the almost infinite zoom and fast scrolling of the device when I hand the tablet and pen to people to try.
 
 There is a companion [[Daylight Capture]] app for iOS that lets you send links, PDFs, ePUBS, highlights, annotations, etc. More after I've used it for a bit.

-## Evolving Daylight Software

-I have lots of ideas of how Local-first and other open ecosystems can tie into this hardware. [Kickstarting app ecosystems](https://bmannconsulting.com/blog/2022/06/01/kickstarting-app-ecosystem/) was written about Daylight before it was built, and I think the opportunity for novel hardware is even bigger, today. User owned files, AI companion work flows, malleable software are all directions that would work well.

-Daylight can run a managed account system, curating plugins/developers, supporting synch, backup, and API default endpoints, while also staying open to others building on top.

-The Auth0-powered login is fine to start, I was already showing David from [Feathers](https://feathers.cloud) how Daylight could benefit from his local first, DID-powered auth (yes, he pre-ordered one after using mine).

 ## Android
 
-As I mentioned before, I haven't really used Android seriously for quite some time. I'll have to explore and see what it's possible to install.

 I've seen other people running [[Obsidian]], which I'd like to use on here, but I'll have to go look up Android git support, too, so I can synch my vault between phone / laptop / Daylight.

+With a standard USB-C port as well as Bluetooth, what other interesting hardware accessories might expand the capabilities of this device? Can I use it as an external monitor or tablet with my Macbook Air?
+
+Looking forward to exploring more. Congrats, Daylight team!
