GOTO

A limited news reader for e-ink devices.

GOTO/TOGO delivers a limited morning (GOTO) and evening (TOGO) news briefing to e-ink readers running CrossPoint Reader. Open an edition, read a fixed set of story leads, and scan a QR code if you want to continue a story on your phone. That’s it. No endless feed, and no need to read every story in full.

Concept

Each edition is a fixed set of stories chosen for that morning or evening. GOTO is the morning paper. TOGO is the evening takeaway. The names play on something being prepared and ready to pick up, with the edition waiting for you when you open it. Once you reach the end, you are done.

From the e-ink screen to your phone

Each story has its own Full Story QR code, and the edition ends with one that opens the edition page, with links to every story. Scan it and the whole edition is on your phone.

Supported hardware

Runs on the XTEINK X4 and the XTEINK X4 Pro running CrossPoint Reader. Not sure which you have? The X4 Pro has a touchscreen and a warm/cool frontlight; the original X4 does not. Support for other CrossPoint-compatible e-ink devices may follow as the project develops.

Also want ON POINT, a P2P bus departure board? The X4 Pro has a combined GOTO + ON POINT package, firmware-x4pro-gp.factory.bin, in the same release.

Installing on the XTEINK X4

  1. Download firmware-x4-g.bin.
  2. Copy it to the root of a microSD card.
  3. On the X4, open Settings → System → SD Card Firmware Update.
  4. Select the GOTO firmware and install it.
  5. Open Apps → GOTO.

See the full X4 installation guide for details.

On the XTEINK X4 Pro, installation is over USB (direct flashing) instead — see the X4 Pro installation guide.

If Wi-Fi is not connected when you open GOTO, it opens CrossPoint’s Wi-Fi screen first. Connect for the latest edition, or press Back to read the last saved one.

Notes

Project GOTO is still in active development. The current version uses GMA News as its source.
