@mntmnIt looks like that keyboard is designed for thumbtyping while holding the device like a DS. Are you planning to push that element of the design? Like shape the keys specially and give tactile cues for gamepad style input and maybe tuck a trackball in there? This could be the ultimate on-the-bus computer.

@mntmn @Austin sounds better than rooting a phone. i don't root my phones because they're just not designed to be general purpose computers. they're appliances.

@mntmn @Austin treating your phone as the appliance it was designed to be is actually kind of chill. "okay, i wouldn't expect my toaster to run Linux. this is a digital toaster with a touch screen. fine."

@Austin @mntmn if i wanna do geeky stuff i get a device designed for that. which seems to be what you're working on. i think it looks more ergonomic for typing heavy tasks than your average smartphone. there is no tactile feedback with on-screen keyboards. my thumbs tense up when using them because of the precision required, and no surface features to guide them.

@Austin @mntmn i'm doing HW prototypes currently too, for a startup named Prefigure. it's in the very early phases so the company doesn't have a web presence.

@thor @mntmn @Austin you don't need to "root" your phone to run something like termux, and installing a custom ROM is also totally separate from rooting. it's not like a jailbreak
