Change Chat: A Conversation with Trey Finn

Video Description

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. If you liked this video and enjoyed the experience, please consider looking into Riverside, my livestreaming platform.
