Nostr Web Client

Wen dedicated hardware portable nostr device? Before you say, "cheap android with graphene".. WITH replaceable battery, replaceable charging port. 🏆🤙🙏

nostr:npub16v82nr4xt62nlydtj0mtxr49r6enc5r0sl2f7cq2zwdw7q92j5gs8meqha any ideas?

Lets talk hardware requirements.

- Screen

- Text input device (keyboard, ability to connect a keyboard, or virtual keyboard if we have a touchscreen)

- Connectivity (WiFi or LoRa if we wanted to get wipd with it)

- Replacable, rechargablebbattery

- Charging port, which is also replacable

If this are right, and I were to make one of these, I'd look for an existing hardware platform to rally around. Maybe recreate the HotNinja and publish the code & schematics? https://vtol.cc/filter/works/Hot-Ninja

Maybe try to recreate something like https://www.msglab.co/project/lo-ra-msg

I guess we coukd drop the input requirement and make it a read-only nostr client by hacking up a pager project like this: https://hackaday.com/2019/03/24/custom-lora-pager-designed-with-care/

There are so many projects out there, it seems like it'd be a shame to duplicate their effort instead of joining them to get a common platform that we could all build off of.

I think it would need input and need camera, eink display 🙏 ya I keep waiting for raspberry pi supply BS to be over cause I kinda think pi is the platform .. but man. I duno now.

Not open source, is it?

kidwarp 1y ago

Not exactly sure.

How open/closed source is the satslink gonna be?

I keep wishing things like https://beepy.sqfmi.com/

🤔 But with components that are no supply problem

The pi problems are mostly gone now. Not to say they won't crop up again in the future, but that's a risk of pretty much any small chip. rpilocator.com

The big problem with the pi is power consumption. It'd only last a few hours with a big battery pack

You know what they say... cheap, easy development, low power: choose any two.

Is this beepy thing open source? I didn'tbsee an answer on their site and peeked at their github account, but they have 78 repos and I didn't feel like trying to scour through them all to figure it out.

Ya, I kinda avoid projects like beepy since they always seem to fail to manufacture enough, and fail in general, but if I could find parts that are similar, and do my own case (larger obvs but still would be cool). Prob more like a cyber deck maybe..
