I think @roughly provided a good balance of practicality + optimism in their answer. My thoughts: Not immediately, but yes, eventually. Humans have an innate willingness and desire…

The project has taken so much focus that I haven't had the time nor skill to heavily improve the website's CSS/aesthetics. Or if you mean just the content, any suggestions for what…

Hey HN, Solder_Man here. I am the guy behind Pockit. Thrilled to see this modularization effort has the support (and useful criticism) of so many deep thinkers in this thread. Firs…

My engineer-mind hesitates to state a number until I finalize the BOM and get tooling quotes, etc. At that point, I'll put up the pricing, etc. on the website and mailing list. But…

Glad you changed your mind. About "limits": As u/moistbar also pointed out, the number of pins of the Broadcom CPU, and of the STM32 microcontroller, would provide a constraint. If…

> signal lines Good point. I stand corrected. > orientation Two features ensure (and encourage) the block placement at the correct orientation. - layout of the 4 magnets' polaritie…

As I mentioned in a deeply embedded comment somewhere on Reddit, wait for the upgraded-PCB version demo coming up in the next week, you're going to love it if you're a fan of the C…

> megapockit with a huge backplane and a big modular keyboard Look at that... the human mind is phenomenal. We're not all ultra-skilled, detail-oriented electrical engineers. So wh…

Only high-bandwidth signal groups (such as HDMI) have the limitation of being usable at only one (or a few) positions. Technically these too can be given more/complete placement fr…

Used to be just me. But two amazing people assisting me now (one of them full-time); immediately took this decision upon recognizing the significant community interest from Reddit,…

"Play" sounds about right. I've enjoyed the exponential multiplier in prototyping+design speed I've gained as each new block was made. "Mass produced" -- no mass-production plans y…

Hey HN, Thanks @Aissen. Didn't know whether the project's unfinished state was worthy of it, but happy to see this appear on my favorite minimalistic website : - ) Here is the full…
