Does anyone else see a bunch of tiny faces along the top row?

[-] zewm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

All look like joker faces to me.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

Too much Balatro.

[-] 555@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

That looks so distracting.

Is a pen and paper notebook just not cool anymore? You'd strain your eyes much less than trying to stare at this screen.

I personally avoid handwriting if I have to because I can't scrawl 80 words a minute. I can, however, type that fast consistently. Also the clickety clackety tickles something in my adhd brain and makes writing things out more fun.

It's like they took an ergonomics textbook and read it upside-down.

Handwriting hurts my wrists. My handwriting became super sloppy after what, like 40 years in front of a screen. Can't index or search my notes. I had one of those pens that record everything using a camera on special, dotted paper, but no OCR can process my writing, and you need special paper.

But yeah, the idea seems interesting. I like dedicated devices these days. It have to carefully think about what I'll be doing, pick an activity and then venture out to do the thing, packing the dedicated device that is suited for the task. I'm more focused that way, more productive.

However, that device here is not what I am looking for. Tiny keyboard, non ergonomic, colors too flashy.

My hand aches just reading thing. My brain hurts thinking about reading my illegible handwriting.

I never thought I'd see a keyboard that has less of a spacebar then the ZX Spectrum.

Install WordPerfect 5.1 on the Pocket386 for a more retro feel.

[-] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

Can you imagine using that in public?

[-] pavnilschanda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Is there an open-source version of this? I already have a mechanical keyboard

I've been trying to figure out what kind of personal computing device would fit in these power envelope.

I dunno if this is what I want, but I like the idea anyway. ESP32 is like 500mW class or so (very rough estimate because I don't care to look it up right now lol). So you can get more than 24-hours of processing with 4x AA cells or 18650 Li-ion.

I feel like there's something 'under' the classic smartphone that might still be useful as a personal gadget. But alas, smartphones are an always in your pocket device today. Bluetooth keyboard + Phone would be a more practical note taking application.


Maybe this same thing, but instead as a minimalistic SSH shell for computer IT tasks? I like the design of this things keyboard at least.

Just bought one! So excited!

So a Planck-like ortho keyboard with a miniscule screen?

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

It's just a planck with a screen attached to it. Could easily make your own with a pi zero and a screen and turn you can use any keyboard and will be able to call it around a bit easier than that awkward shape
