Project gets a proper name. Replaces "Ours" / "Our product" placeholders
in the QFD perception zone and the working title "typewriter" in
README/CONTEXT headers and the npm name. "Typewriter" the category
noun (the writing-machine concept) stays unchanged — Typoena is the
brand, typewriter is the category. SoftAP SSID typewriter-setup and the
repo directory are deliberately left as-is.
The Sailfish firmware (2025-11-19) rewrote the Freewrite Traveler OS in
Rust, cut keystroke latency 40–100 %, and trimmed power draw -30 %
typing / -50 % idle. Three rows are bumped: W1 3→4, W5 3→4, W9 1→2.
Freewrite now ties reMarkable at 42; Pomera still #2 at 45.

| W5 | Quick boot to a writing cursor | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Ours target ≤5 s. reMarkable cold-boots ~20 s (great from sleep). Both Freewrites ~10–15 s e-ink wake. Pomera ~3 s. |
| W6 | Long sessions without crash / lag / drift | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Ours unproven (1 h target). Freewrite famously stable (both variants). Pomera firmware is decades-mature. |
| W7 | Nothing on the device competes with prose | 5 | 2 | 5 | 5 | 5 | reMarkable has apps, menus, drawing, PDFs. Freewrite + Pomera are single-purpose; ours by design. |
| W8 | The UI never moves except when I move it | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | reMarkable animates more; ours uses dirty-rects; Freewrites minimal motion; Pomera near-static LCD. |
| W10 | I can repair or fork it with hobbyist tools | 5 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | Ours: open BOM + ESP32. reMarkable: rooted Linux + community ROMs. Freewrite + Pomera: closed. |
| W5 | Quick boot to a writing cursor | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 5 | Typoena target ≤5 s. reMarkable cold-boots ~20 s (great from sleep). Frw.T accelerated post-Sailfish (no published number); Frw.S still ~10–15 s e-ink wake. Pomera ~3 s. |

| W9 | Codebase absorbs the planned roadmap | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | Modular Rust Typoena; reMarkable is hackable Linux; Frw.T Sailfish is Rust-rewritten (vendor explicitly unblocked features JS could not carry) but closed; Frw.S + Pomera closed firmware. |
