elementary! I like it, been using it since ~2018, I like its style and I don’t mind reinstalling for major updates. They’re pretty seldom if you’re on the LTS branch anyway

Even as someone who doesn’t usually play the genre it’s a fantastic game

I like this! It looks nice and the way the bottom bar goes into the background feels natural to how I use my desktop

I built my own before getting a freewrite traveler, so it’s nice to see people making them easier for others!

$200!

I hope it catches on!

Definitely agree, maybe it’s time to share Paul Ramsey’s talk on the subject again

A handful of shortcuts isn’t that hard

as in “your fork is official now, we have our own compatability in .net and there’s no need to maintain it”

The recognition is nice, but there hadn’t been a major release in over 5 years. I’d guess the outcome is mostly paperwork

Sounds like it hasn’t had any updates in half a year (with the last major version over 5 years ago) and they’re now using their own runtime that’s included in .NET. Wine already had their own fork, so what is there to maintain?

I didn’t know they were planning to pivot to an open source client, neat! Especially if peppy would like to do something else, the community is massive and can help carry the work

Oh I think those are still around, usually chromebooks. As long as you set your expectations to the price point they can work,but that’s not really who this is targeted for

That’s why I like my Traveler! But the eink screen looks great at an angle so it’s not usually much of a problem once you get used to it.

Compared to the AlphaSmart? Their last model launched at over $400 if you adjust for inflation, the only reason they’re cheap now is that schools bought them en masse to teach typing. Niche writing tools are unfortunately expensive unless economies of scale get involved

Over $1200 in today’s dollars!

It is! AlphaSmart went under a while ago so the only models available are used. Astrohaus made their own version too, but it’s about as expensive ad their other products so I’m looking forward to this.

LOL at least you can get your own fancy keycap set 😅 I wonder if the launch versions will offer labels

It’s an alternate to Astrohaus’s Freewrite, should be a bit more competitively priced! Source code isn’t available yet but it’s running an ESP32 so that’s pretty cool (the original version used a raspi zero)
